Compass Rose - Micro Dodger I call this a micro dodger. I worked out details with a local sailmaker. The only attachment to the boat is a few snaps on the teak trim of the hatch. The ribs are plastic water pipe which fit into some small aluminum rail that drops into the slot between the hatch and its supporting rails. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the dodger is slanted back far enough to cover the entire companionway. I can leave the hatch open and boards out in a full rainstorm without getting water in the boat. I only bring it out during rainstorms, other times the whole thing snaps off and rolls up into a tube to be stored below. This tip submitted by Greg Jackson
