Several years ago I bought a bimini from Westland, Model 4681, for my C&C 40. I believe you can still buy it through go2marine.com for about $400. It was made of Sunbrella and the dimensions are 46"H x 81"W x 72"L. It was a little tricky picking the right dimensions and mounting location because it has to be short enough not to interfere with the boom when fully sheeted, and mounted far enough forward not to interfere with the winches. I had to compromise with a fairly short bimini that covers the cockpit, but not the helm. I have good visibility over the bimini from the helm and the passengers are only slightly uncomfortable trying to stand if they are tall. You could probably get away with the 54"H model, but I would have had to look forward under the bimini, and I felt like that limited my helm visibility too much. The attachment point for the 3-bow structure is between the coaming and the genoa tracks just aft of the bulkhead, which allows for free access to both the primary and secondary winches. The bimini extends from just ahead of the helm to about a foot aft of the main traveler.

Something about sailing NW until you smell Mai Tai mix then tack and sail NE to Vancouver Island. Maybe the instruction was to go NW until the butter turns solid.
