    O34 New Dodger O-34

    The new dodger is on. The new clutches and larger winches are in place. This is a newer fabric, "RECacril" that is rated better than "Sunbrella" for weave integrity and QC. Since cost is about the same, and the canvas shop has been having great luck with it, we decided to give it a try. This...

    Dodger for ericson 27

    I have a complete dodger for sale. This just got removed from my new Ericson 27. I find it too restrictive during sailing. The outside cover is slightly faded, but the rest is in good shape. The frame is in excellent condition. Local pickup in Marina del Rey, CA

    Dodger for a 1974 29 Foot Ericson

    The dodger on our 1974, 29 foot Ericson is "all but destroyed". It's old and I need to replace it. Can anyone give me some guidance as to where I might find one-possibly used. My budget is tight and I want to keep my cost down. I live in Oceanside, CA. Thanks, SHevrin

    Home Built (?) Hard Dodger

    Not a current project, but something I have been sketching on and thinking about for several years. I just did a coastal delivery on a Jason 35 with a nice frp dodger with glass windows. The visibility forward and the general strength was wonderful. Since our our '95 vintage small dodger is...

    Algae / Mold stains on Dodger Canvas

    The navy blue canvas dodger on my E 28+ has some greenish stains from mold or algae ( Pacific NW). I've been able to eliminate the stains from the steering wheel cover and mainsail cover by removing and washing them. I would rather try to treat the Dodger canvas without removing it if...

    Repairing Rip in Dodger Window

    Hi all, We noticed today a tear about 1 ft long in our dodgers front plexiglass window. The dodger is only about a year old, and was perfectly fine last week, so we're a little stumped about how it came to be, but thats not what I wanted to ask about. What I wanted to ask, is there a good...

    Care and Feeding of Dodger Windows

    My dodger has Strataglass brand vinyl windows. It was expensive but beautifully clear. I've religiously used the Imar cleaner/protectant recommended by the Strataglass manufacturer but I find that the Imar doesn't remove waterspots completely and after a day or two the windows are a bit cloudy...

    New Dodger for 30+

    I wanted to give some of the 30+ owners a look at the new dodger I had installed on my 30+. It was a work in progress. I looked at a few dodger pictures of 30+ boats, but did not like the boxy look they were portraying to my eyes. So I worked with a canvas maker to give the dodger an...

    Vinyl Dodger?

    My white Sunbrella dodger only lasted six years before the seams started tearing out. It also has provided a petri dish for mildew. When I discussed re-sewing or replacing the dodger with the owner of a reputable canvas shop, he brought up the idea of using vinyl instead of sunbrella. My...

    Dodger & Bimini

    I am scheduled to meet with a canvas man next week to design a new dodger and bimini for my E27. She has Wheel steering with the traveler in front of the helm . So ,for this reason the helm will be left uncovered and that is OK with me . My thoughts(at the present) are to make the dodger and...

    How much does a dodger cost?

    My E28+ has all the hardware for a dodger. When the seller moved the boat down here from the Northwest, he removed the dodger (it was shot anyway) and used the frame with just a bimini, as he felt a wet weather setup was overkill here in the land of eternal sunshine... I'm curious - has...

    Dodger & Bimini Installation

    What is the best way to install dodgers and biminis given the fact that the main sheet traveler & track on my E-28 is in front of the companion way entrance? It would appear that the rigging would have to be moved to accomodate these accessories. What is the best approach to this?

    Dodger For E32-2

    I got a quote for a dodger for my E32 that was quite pricey! Several shops offer a more attractive price if they have patterns for a particular boat. Does anyone (maybe west coast??) know of a canvas shop that has patterns for the E 32? A similar question: Has anyone purchased an...

    Dodger for an E27?

    Common question, (I think), but I don't know the answer. If I had a cockpit dodger, would I have to climb around it each time to control the mainsheet and traveler? Is there an answer for this or should I just dodge the dodger?

    Dodger for a 35-3

    Hi all - We are considering installing a doger on our E35-3. I was wondering about the measurements, specifically how high should the doger be above the cabin sole and how far back would it extend. I have sailed on a large number of boats with dogers and found that they are indespensible...
