Hi to all ,

I still didn't dare in walking above the t-top! Do you do it yourself, and if so are there any better areas to put your feet? Can you go up to the edge towards the stern? 

Thanks all,

I've got a 575, not a 588,  but I'd be astonished if you couldn't walk on the hard bimini top sections.  I've seen how its attached at the factory (quite strong) and its holding the mainsheet, so...

It seems other people don't have my hesitation...

Nice to see all that responsible “social distancing”......not.

I wouldn't exclude it collapsed a minute after, I think it is a good way to incentivate the future charter users to make it happen, sooner or later. You may remark that the lady jumps from the backward edge, where there is no support below, it is far from the carbon spar, it is thinner and i could check it is more flexible!

To tell the truth, this video is the wrong evidence it is legitimate to walk on it...

Re the video.  Did anyone else notice the lack of sails actually in use? :-)  Just being used as a 'cheap' motorboat.
