Giro,
We got a local canvas maker to come to the boat and work with us on the design. We had several criteria: Let my 6'4" frame stand upright underway; provide good coverage over the RPS and the front cooler seats; and fold backwards so as not to block the bow lights (which our old bimini did). You can see the results on our personal page. I highly recommend you talk to several "locals" whose canvas work you like....word of mouth referral is important in canvas work. You might think it a little pricey w/stainless, etc., but it is most definitely worth it in the long run. Good Luck
