Hi Rob, We have a dodger on our 37+ (actually a 37XL). We're quite happy with our dodger, it is tall and roomy but doesn't get in the way. It has one top panel, and five window panels (one large front window panel, two front corners with windows, and two sides with large windows). The front panel zips open, or comes off completely, as do any or all of the other panels. All panels can come off and the top panel and frame still stays in place, if that is what you want, or you can fold it all down. We tend to put it on for the summer and just leave it up all the time as it doesn't cause any issues getting up or down the companionway, and no issues sailing the boat. We don't even bother to take it down wehn racing for evening races.
The side panels have large pockets sewn on the insides, below the windows. We use these for all kinds of stuff, books, binoculars, phones, etc. There is also an extra panel that zips on the back of the dodger and extends to the backstay to provide sun and rain protection to the cockpit, but that can't be used with the boom sheeted in as it gets in the way of the main sheet and traveller. We use it while running downwind on long runs, and use it at anchor if we are expecting rain or too much sun.

He speaks french, his english is Ok, but not great. They do (did?) really good work. Tel. 418 847-9801 Ken H.
