Traditional dodger with a classic design
Award of Excellence | Custom Marine Canvas | Noank, Conn.
This project won a 2013 MFA Award of Excellence in the sailboat dodgers category. Mr. Fisher needed a new dodger because his traveller was being redesigned. He wanted a traditional dodger to complement the classic design of the boat.
The challenge included working around the riggers’ installation schedule, as well as when the boat would be at the dock and not on a mooring.
The owner of the boat and the boatyard are both quite pleased.
