Jer, Mine is the starboard wind shield for Amel 54 – do they have the template for this? Maybe you could put me directly in touch with the suppliers? Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98

Hi everyone, my model is original Maramu Hull #105 - not sure it will fit a Sharki. Yes - they can tint the acrylic (windshield) if needed and the polycarbonate (hatches and portholes). lmk and I can

Wow- thanks Alan; Maud told me just now the ends are available but it didn't occur to me that there might be different SM pole configurations. Tom and Kirstin SM2K 422

Kirstin just completed our new bimini- she kept the frame bars the same length but moved the forward bar 4 inches higher in the channel. The result is a zip down window (40 gauge stratoglass) above

Hi Paul! I'm looking for a Bimini exactly like you did. Could you tell me where did you made it? If you have more details, I'll appreciate. Jose Prieto SY Wayag SM323

Hi J-P, I noticed that your poles are quite different to ours...not surprising SM007 cf SM437 Ours, as probably SM422 are quite a lot bigger in diamtre and the end fittings are quite different. We had
