The Catamaran Bimini Top Broke! Temporary Repair Before Redesign (Boat Work: Sailing 9 LIVES)

The support post for the hard bimini top on 9 LIVES cracked! After a month of ignoring the temporary fix done at anchor, Duke finally made a somewhat better repair to the PVC post. This repair video is relatively pointless for anyone else, since the bimini top is custom-made and so doesn't really have any relevance to any other sailboat. Whatever. It is just a step in the eventual transformation of 9 LIVES from an acceptable boat to a world-class mega-yacht. OK, maybe not. This repair has lasted without failure all summer, fall, and now winter. In the spring, Duke has plans to reconfigure much of the bimini top, including a brand new support structure which will include a relocation of the main sheet traveler and an integrated dinghy davits system.
