Below is the original Amel bimini, without the side panel, with the long extension (not sure it comes from Amel).
I could not use this extension when sailing with the mizzen, as it is attached to it. But great in marina or anchor.

Detail of the connection of the extension to the original Amel bimini, here I have the side panel.

The original Amel Bimini is great for moderate cold climate as the cockpit is protected from the wind.
But it is too hot for summer.
The previous owner had a second arch installed with a bimini.
There is a gap between the top of the dodger and the bimini that allows air to go through.

 

Here is how the previous owner used the second arch I mentioned.
You can see it has an extension as well.
Unfortunately that bimini was lost...

New Bimini (2016) based on the above description
