I have a Compac 23/2 and would like to install a bimini. Will a bimini measuring 46" height, 78" width, 72" length fit on a 23? If not, what are the correct measurements?

Thank you. I’ve done these measurements but was hoping that someone who actually installed a Bimini on a 23 could provide some guidance. I’m primarily concerned about the height.
While you are looking for dimensions you might find the article on sailboat bimini design helpful:

About height............make it as tall as you can without it hitting the boom, since the ComPac 23 has a boom that extends far into the cockpit.
Great advice. Thank you. Fortunately, the boom on the 23 sit high so there appears to be loads of clearance. With a bimini on a track it should be adjustable so that can be stored a stern.
For other C23 owners, bimini's with the dimension 46"h X 78"W X 72"L fit. Although close, the boom clears the top of the bimini.
