can you all post more pictures of your dodgers? I'm thinking black to match the rest of our boat's sunbrella coloring. I'm tryint to visualize it!
Thanks!

If you have other sunbrella, I would match it. Sailcover etc.
I'm glad BWY did it in black. I think it matches the black trim/windows etc. on the boat. However, I've seen other colors that look good as well.

This is a great shot of the dodger/bimini connector piece (and waterfall).
The shape is H-like It tapers out wide to the bimini.

These help a lot! Luna Azul is similar to Galactica These help me visualize and see how others have their boats set up!

That setup covers the stern rail seats as well

side note: those are pretty lakes. What lake are those? I bet the waterfall is pleasant to anchor near!

Looks like that Dodger doesn't obstruct the walkway forward.

That would be the Pacific Ocean on the upper Lynn Canal of the inside passage about 100nm trip from the mouth of glacier bay in Alaska. We were just drifting in that pic. The waterfall is directly across the canal from Haines AK and is really exposed to the weather and has a steep drop off (1500ft). But when it's calm its a good place to have lunch or hang out. The waterfall is pretty loud and the spray cools the whole area off (when it's warm) and humpbacks often feed in the area. We also saw a mountain goat on the cliffs just out of view almost down by the water. The other pic is Elfin Cove just off Cross Sound and the Gulf of Alaska. The dodger does limit movement forward a little bit but it depends on how many zippers you want to undo

Another thing I should mention is the black canvas really heats up in the sun.
