How effective is the bimini top in protecting you from the rain if you’re cruising in an Outrage 18 at say 20 knots and there is no wind. I fish the Straight of Georgia and the west coast of Vancouver Island, we get more than our share of rain up here. I’m making plans to buy an Outrage 18 and am making a list of “must haves” for the boat. I owned a Montauk for 20 years, sold it a few years ago.
Thanks in advance.

Hey Mark,

Biminis will be great as primarily sunshading the operator.
In the BC weather as in cold windy and grey; a partial or fully enclosed shelter will be preferred.
On the West Coast or in the Georgia Straight, one will be careful to choose his tide co ordinated outings.
