I want to install a bimini but boom is too low for an effective bimini. What's the solution?

26.5 Bimini

I had a reef added to the main about 14" up from the boom and moved the goose neck up the mast 14" using machine screws instead of rivets. When you want to use the bimini: attach the boom and gooseneck 14" up and use the reef. If you want to use the full main: attach the boom and gooseneck at the original location, shake out the reef, and fold up the bimini. Its a pain to switch back and forth and I hardly ever do it, but it doesn't take that long. I have also seen just a new clew added about a foot and a half up and the boom used at an angle while the bimini is up.
