Main Sail tie up with a Dodger

[Roc]

The worst part is if you hit your head, and the blow catches the little metal button on the top of your baseball cap...  OUCH!!!

   36 years ago I dumped the ball cap & got a Tilley. The foam flotation in the top may protect you from the dodger. My main reason for the switch... no more sun burned ears. Many others on the market but I still like my Tilley. This is not an add, just my thoughts... Protect your head

We have dodger and have no issues tying up the sail. We have a Dutchman system so dropping the sail is
easy. I the add two sail ties. I do have the front window out of the way.

The SS rails on the dodger are a necessity for safety. As someone else said you will use the ever time you leave the cockpit.

two main items we want on everyboat are dodger and Bimini. It only took 1 trip to Catalina for 17 hours in the sun and we added to the 30 and the 34 when we got it. Plus great place to install the solar.
