tweitz is on a distinguished road
We had the same problem on our Beneteau 323. We have a pretty high boom, but I am 6'4", and when i adjusted the bimini to give me head room it wore the boom started to wear it. I had a canvas guy add reinforcement to the bimini at the rub points, and readjusted the bimini frame so it cants down slightly towards the bow. By doing this I was able to get standing room at the wheel (barely) and clearance for the boom. You might try fiddling this way.
