We've set about getting the C&C 32 a new dodger. None of my other boats
had
dodgers, so I know little about them. I see many owners leaving their
dodgers
up all season. Is this a safe practice? How long will they last? Is it
better
to put it away for weeks at a time....how many people here leave theirs up
all
season?


I don't think that it makes a great deal of difference.

I tend to leave mine down while I am sailing. When we tie up, we put up the
dodger(uk = "sprayhood").
