[Public-List] Spray Dodger questions

[jkingsland209 at comcast.net]

   John, is it possible you could share some photos of your canvas rig
   setup? I am redoing my dodger on #148 as well but would love to see how
   yours looks with and without the side curtains and zip connection.  I
   was given a Dodger frame from another Alberg 30 without the canvas.
   Not sure you can post pictures here but you can post a link to a shared
   album or I can give you my email address.
   Thanks, Gigi Kingsland

     We had a dodger put on 305 about eight years ago and it was
     professionally done and we are very happy with it. I would make sure
     you have windows all the way around and we had a zip on sunshade
     over the cockpit With zipper on side curtains. Also we had a zip in
     window on the front side of the dodger which is nice in light air.
     Only use one inch stainless tubing.Total cost was about $2700.
