The dodger is a heavy fabric roof protecting a boat's cockpit from sun, wind or rain. NauticExpo offers dodgers for sailboats, power boats, custom-made, etc.
Dodgers generally are found on recreational craft, where they serve as folding roofs. They unfold to shelter the cockpit from sun, rain and wind. During stormy weather, they allow steering from a protected cockpit.
A dodger is a thick, waterproof fabric incorporating transparent plastic windows for forward visibility. It is usually removable, with a metal framework.
Choice will depend primarily on the shape of the dodger, which should be perfectly adapted to the boat's cockpit. Some manufacturers can supply custom-made dodgers.
