This is a project we made last October, but we didn’t add it to the web site at the time. It was a very interesting project, as we needed to find a solution both very light and very strong. Both contradictory goals, given its 3,7m X 1,7m dimension.
After giving it some thoughts, carbon fiber was the best solution, as it allowed for only 1,5 cm thickness, optimizing the weight/strength ratio.
We tested the result out of our workshop, to check that every dimensions would fit on the boat.
Then it was time to organize the transportation to the Marina. It wasn’t heavy at all due to the carbon structure (50kg only !), but quite large.
This is our best part, when the new Bimini fits so perfectly on the Catamaran that we have the feeling it has always been here. The owners were very happy with the new Bimini, and on our part we felt proud of the result. Check-it out by yourself.
