Hey David,
I believe every word...there is art going on when making a finely fitted dodger!

The frames have to be designed, bent, and fitted on the boat before the dodger can be patterned - again, on the boat to accommodate winches, lines, etc. Even after the frame and patterns are made, there are a lot of steps to construct the dodger. And then, finally, your canvas person should come back out to the boat for a final fitting, which can take an hour or two.
