    A language problem ......
    
    What I think you call a dodger I call a sprayhood ie something that
    goes over the companion way hatch and gives protect to the forward end
    of the cockpit. What I call a dodger is material that is rigged to the
    guard rails to give protection to the sides of the cockpit. What is the
    North American term for those.

I've been meaning to build one for years. The material rigged to the stern pulpit/lifelines to protect the cockpit is mostly (I think) called weathercloths. We made some, but they so restrict visibility to windward when heeled that we stopped using them. Too risky for the benefit.

We dont have either they are for cruisers. Cheers Revel

In the English Channel the bits around the side of the cockpit are a real necessity, I gues it says something about our weather. ! Pete
