Please describe the project specifications

The client wanted a modern style dodger to update their older Beneteau. They wanted it with removal hard panels and a design that could hold up to the rigors of novice guest sailors on the boat. As always we fabricated the panels with triply ply premium construction and no raw window edges. We designed it with overlapping front panel, pockets in the dodger and curved stanchions at the aft which also had to support the aft pull down tension of the panel itself as we could not fasten to the cockpit combing where lines and cleats had been rigged in a different manner than most sailboats. The window covers got quilted window covers also.


What is unique or complex about the project?

The fit and finish along with the clean lines of this dodger and boat led us to enter this project.
