Joe, It does an admirable job of keeping us dry when beating upwind. San Francisco Bay has winds of 25-35 kt on most days in the summer, and horrible chop. We don't wear foulies. The crew on boats without dodgers wear their foulies every day in the summer around here.

How well does it keep water (spray) out?

You can put a stainless steel bar over the main hatch and attach the dodger to it. That's what we did. It's strong enough for a 300 pound man to do chinups on it. We don't need a seahood with the dodger (but of course we're not venturing out in bad storms.) See pics at http://www.blumhorst.com/catalina27/dodger1.htm Fair winds, Judy B 1977 C27 TR "Bijou"
