Hi,
Have been working on a dodger for the last 6 months and finally fitted it last weekend, so this is a good chance to send some photos of the dodger and some updated Abel Tasman photos if you want for the Pelagos page.
I really struggled to find inspiration for a good looking dodger, so eventually decided to use the curves and angles already found on the boat, which I'm hoping has created a sympathetic design, that doesn't look too 'added on'. Having said that, the dodger is attached with just 4 bolts so it can easily be removed if necessary. Its mostly built fromlaminated marine ply and pine, with acrylic panes glued using polyurethane adhesive directly to the epoxy coated frames. Hopefully I have time now to get back to painting the rest of the boat, making an ice box, fitting water tanks ....
Regards
Nick
No question - a sympathetic design!
Are those portlights let into the hatch cover?
Well done!
