On some boats they look good, and perform a needed function, on other boats
it looks like the owner is simply buying all the 'bolt on' crap he can
afford.

Scotty observed: I don't like the looks of dodgers on small boats.

We had a dodger on the O'Day...hated the thing and don't have one on
Chantuese...they impede vision, create drag, and make a further deck
hazard....we decided foulies and ski goggles work just as well and since
the
slide hatch keeps out the weather from the companionway, there was no
need.
You have to remember, though, that Bob has to have one to protect all that
fair skin of the alien ladies he entertains....
