On my winter project list is "Dodger". My next-boat-neighbor has one on his Catalina 25; it looks great and he says he likes it.

Does anyone else have a dodger on a Catalina 25? Is it worth having? Does it get in the way? Any suggestions...?

Thank

Buzz,

So you're one of those guys up there? In the summer, we spend almost every weekend out on the lake, and one element of the "enviroment" is the F-16's that fly by almost constantly on their way out to the range. Personally, I love watching them fl

Brian - I was on Brad's Ranger 33 in the long distance race on Great Salt Lake the day after the Nationals (where Vern Marion's boat won the SR Title with humble me at the helm) - we got hit by one of those "Toolie (wrong spelling) Twisters. It was a most

I have a dodger on my C-25. I realy like it and could not imagine sailing here in Puget Sound without it. I sail in the rain or in the cold or both together. It keeps the rain and or spray out of the cabin and deflects the spray and wind. When not at the

We had a dodger on our C-25 and it was great. It kept us from getting too wind blown and also shielded us from the salt spray when the bow was crashing on the waves. On hot days especially when going downwind, we would roll up the windshield to get a b

Glad my pictures were of help. The dodger on Fer Llyr had a tag on it that indicated the company that made it was IN; the previous owner had it installed so I dont know where they are, possibly in New York.

Two things to be careful of- make
