Re: Hard dodger for classic sloop...suggestions?

I also had the same questions years ago. A classic hull shape that I did not want to ruin with a boxy hard dodger. We made one about 15 years ago after building a plywood mold. Its very light and very strong. I

I put together a series of photos showing how we made it that may be of interest to you

You can find the "Dodger Build" write up and pics on our website
jacaranda-journey and then click(on the left) "Other Good Stuff" Its number 9 under "Cruising Ideas and Tips"

Hope this gives you a couple of ideas
