New dodger, bimini and connector for discerning customer
Custom Marine Canvas, Noank, Conn.
This project, which won a 2010 MFA Outstanding Achievement Award in the full exterior canvas sailboat (27 feet and up) category, involved a new dodger, bimini and connector for a very discerning customer’s boat. We changed the attachment method of the dodger to track from conventional fasteners, and extended coverage of the connector to keep the cockpit drier.
