[Public-List] Mike Lehman's Dodger

[Gail DeMoss via Public-List]

One of the nice features of the dodgers made by Chris Ford is that all 
of the clear windows unzip and roll up, out of the way.  It is nice to 
have the wind in your face and hear the water.  Easy to zip closed if 
needed.  Our Dodger lasted for 19 years and we are now needing new 
windows.  I am not sure about the canvas.  But, the frame is still like 
new.  Chris Ford is well worth the added cost.

Instead we got to enjoy the moonlight and watch the beaver swimming bye.  And I was definately glad of it when I chose to beat my way home in the cold rain all the next afternoon.  But I don't like sailing behind a dodger the rest of the time.  It restricts visibility somewhat but worse (for me, anyway) is that it diminishes the enjoyment by blocking the view of the bow wave and the sound of the water rolling off the bow.  So my #1 priority for a dodger is that it can easily be folded down out of the way when not wanted.
