Here is something you don't see every day...a dodger on a Daysailer.

Looks interesting and doesn't appear that it would get in the way.

Hi John

I thought you might be interested...especially after all the discussion about Bimini on the Mariner site. You really need the shade in the middle section of the boat over the skipper and crew.

I find it interesting, but don't need it as much as Matt on the Mariner site does. He might be interested in this since he said he wanted something for the forward end of the cockpit. This one looks like it would work without raising the boom. I definitely find it interesting tho.

Sailing the Mariner this year, we made sure there was a place in the cabin to get out of the sun if the need should arise.

I've not missed a dodger on the DS. Perhaps if I did more winter sailing.

The dodge shown may not get in the way, physically, but what about windage?
