Also remember that a lot of boats in Msnly QLD sustained Bimini damage in the Oct 2025 hail event. The marine trimmers are pretty much still flat out on insurance jobs. We refused to believe that replacing the centre clear (zip section) of our dodger (it’s maybe 1 m by 70 cm) was $2200 in work (noting insurance excess of $2000). We haven’t been able to get anyone to quote for a non- insurance job, let alone at a sensible price. Suggestions welcome. We had a 10 cm (yes really that big) hailstone/cannonball through our dodger. Currently held together with Flexitape, which is doing a brilliant job the the aesthetics displease the skipper. Have been thinking about taking the dodger off and driving it to someone on the Gold Coast as they weren’t as badly hit.
