Great work Congratulations 🎉

Fantastic job along with the evocative music played for one of my favourite series , The Onedin Line

[@rayleather8005]

Excellent work this is the best one off dodger build iv’e seen, well done

[@svfuerte850]

Wow! Spectacular looking - really suits the looks of the boat. All we need now is for you to make a few more for the other 350 owners😂

[@dadzilla007]

Nice work and the color choice is a win.

[@scottcates]

Exceptionally fine work and design.

[@marleono1]

Complimenten, dit is echt de mooiste zelfbouw harde buiskap die ik ooit gezien heb. Mocht je tijd over hebben om er een voor mijn Hanse 400 te bouwen....

[@guyerj]

Great work. Thanks for sharing.

[@christophereitrem6864]

Wow! Best looking dodger ever. I want one for my X 😃

EXCELENTE TRABAJO Y DISEÑO MUY ELEGANTE !!!! SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA !!!

[@jokinaguirreazpiazu9901]

Felicidades. Muy bonito diseño y ejecución de alto nivel. El ajuste es perfecto. Tal vez una mayor longitud daría más abrigo(pero entonces molestaría a los movimientos en la bañera!)

[@ottifantiwaalkes9289]

Very nice. I have made a few Dodgers and found especially on monohulls the sides should be as much as possible parallel to the mast. Why? When heeled the windward side of dodger will direct spray water less into the cockpit. Actually good to have a water channel right there and all along the aft side of it to at least keep light spray from going into cockpit. Also people even tall can hide behind the dodger on the upwind and weather side. I do realise it is a look pretty or functional approach.

That looks very good!

Thanks! Sailed the 🇳🇴SE coast with it, we’ll be back next summer🤙🏼

Amazing.

[@michaelschupp877]

Sehr unterhaltend - und mir hat vor allem die Musik gut gefallen! Bitte: was ist denn das fuer ein Konzert? / Komponist?

Adagio from Spartacus by Aram Katsjatoerian

[@kenyonstewart7120]

Looks like very nice work. It would be much easier to see everything being done without the fades and moving transitions in the slide show though.

[@robhermse2106]

@@kenyonstewart7120 I agree with that, thinking about making one without the transitions…

[@danielpenalosa8614]

Si seria genial sin las transiciones. Justo estoy con la idea de sustituir el mío por uno nuevo.

[@MohamedOmar-wh4zc]

Wow.❤

[@klaas5791]

geweldig !

Excellent workmanship on the sprayhood, but an absolutely terrible video. Useless as a guide for people wishing to do the same. Annoying music instead of commentary and an „avalanche“ of still pictures with no time to study them. What were you trying to achieve?

[@robhermse2106]

Agree, it’s absolutely not pretending to be a guide. When interested I’ll can inform you about the details.

[@billfromgermany]

@@robhermse2106 Suggest a further video on the details of how you built the sprayhood. But even although the original wasn‘t supposed to be a guide, I suggest that a more structured and relaxed approach would be better. I found the „avalanche“ of pictures really irritating, as there was hardly time to study one before the next appeared.

[@espiritpost]

​@robhermse2106 Indeed, wow what a sprayhood. Beautiful design and I really like the build-up using the canvas frame and foam. Can you maybe provide a list of materials (foam make, fibre cloth weights, windows supply, etc) Ps. I also live in Holland and got inspired and motivated to follow your example for my boat.

[@billfromgermany]

I‘ve been thinking about this for my boat for a long time. I have a Rustler 36, which is on the small side for a hard dodger, so the design is really important. Nothing worse than a hard dodger that looks as if it was an afterthought. Please do provide details. I have been experimenting with hard foam insulation from the building trade. You can cut kerfs in the insulation (approx 80 to 90% of the way through) and then fill the kerfs with glue, bend the foam around a former, and clamp it in place. This makes a really good core for laminating with grp. My plan is to build up these foam strips around a temporary plywood structure on the boat, to use copper wire in the classic „stitch and glue“ technique, until I have a completed structure which I can remove and glass in side and out,

[@robhermse2106]

@@billfromgermany Just posted a reply with a list of materials. Think Airex plates of 2x 12mm should do the job as it can be thermoformed, using 2 layers of 12mm makes thermoforming over a frame makes this process easier. The 12 mm will provide a good groove for 8mm perspex windows with a glue layer of 4mm. Please drop a mail to [e-mail] for more details and/or pics
