We considered both a hard and soft dodger, in the end we decided on the soft dodger. We still wanted the best visibility we could get so we made it with polycarbonate widows. I am very pleased with how clear they are.
The project started with bending new frames. Our old frames were thin wall, 7/8 tubing and not very stiff. they also had much tighter bends in the corners. The polycarbonate has a fairly large minimum bend radius so it all got reworked. The new frame is 1”, .083 wall 316ss.
The dodger is made from Sunbrella with leather chafe protection.

This New Port 30 III stays on a lake in South Carolina. The owner wanted shade and rain protection near the companion way but did not need the full protection of a dodger. The double bimini setup enabled us to get standing headroom at the wheel and over the companion way.

Our customer wanted to add the class insignia to the sail pack primarily to add some color. I think it looks great.
