Forums, Mast, Rigging and Sails, Dodgers by Easter

I need some dodgers before easter. I think I’ve found a company that will do them but does anyone knoe the best length? I’ve never owned a pair before but i guess the length is from the end of the pushpit to the first Stanchion. Also if you know of anyone that can do quick delivery that’d help too just in case they’re cheaper.

Thanks

Rob

Rob,
You should have them made so that they go forward from the pushpit to the 2nd stanchion (that is next to the aft-most window). The first stanchion is too far aft to offer any protection when sailing upwind. Hope you get some made in time.

Ah thanks George. I see, they’d be a wee bit small otherwise. Thanks
