ABSTRACT:
A dodger with a hard fiberglass top shell is disclosed for mounting to a sailboat. A mold utilizing a flexible sheet--such as a 1/4 inch plywood sheet--is warped and held interior of a surrounding frame rectilinear to match the desired profile of the hard top shell of the dodger. Warping occurs to match cabin camber with the port and starboard sides of the hard dodger top turning down to be approximately tangent to the cabin sides from the projected height of the dodger. The hard shell top is mounted above the deck by system of stanchions and upper and lower stanchion supports fastened to the deck and underside of the hard shell top respectively. The addition of front and side curtains completes the dodger assembly, which is easily constructed, easily removed, and easily repaired.
