Paul We did that trip in 2014/15. Before we left I had Genco fabricate and install a dodger/bimini/enclosure. I am very please with their work. Side panels are removal or can be rolled up and they have screens. If you are going the same route as me (out the St. Lawrence) you’ll want a full enclosure. To see some pics look at my website www.persuasion37.com. My traveller is on the coach roof so not quite the same. Give Genco a call they probably have pictures on file and you might even get show pricing
Good luck Mike S/V Persuasion C&C 37 Keel/CB Long Sault From: Paul Vint via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2017 9:13 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Paul Vint Subject: Stus-List C&C 33 MKI Dodger Hi all, After a few years of cruising Lake Ontario and the 1000 Islands in the St. Lawrence River I'm planning on some extended cruising next season, maybe to end up where winter doesn't suck. My old 33 MKI is naked - no dodger and no bimini, and while I love that, let's face it, some shelter from wind/rain/sun would be damned nice, and this spring I'm going to bite the bullet and do it. I would really love some opinions (and pictures?) of some designs and "dos and don'ts" for dodger design. Resolute has the traveller just aft of the companionway, which will be a bit of a pain for dodger design, but I'm not moving it (it's a newish traveller, and really really nice!). My main concerns in the dodger design are how to handle the slope of the cabin top (so it looks ok) and to keep things so that the lines are clear to the winches with room for cranking. I could deal with a dodger being in the way of the more forward winches and just use the aft ones when the dodger's "trailing wings" are pulled back. Last season I worked out the height - a bit lower than the boom will let me look through it when sitting and look over when standing (in the picture that's my son who is a bit taller than me!) Image for reference: http://resolute.rocks//images/Resolute_port_slowsail_wkjib.jpeg I appreciate any comments, especially those which explain what you feel like are mistakes on your own dodger! (and any and all pics of a 33 MKI dodger appreciated VERY much!) Cheers!
