We’ve spent months trying to come up with a hard dodger design which is going to be practical for our passage to the PNW via Japan…
Building a hard dodger from scratch is no easy task, but finally crunch day had arrived and it was time to start our mini boat refit. So, after a few false starts, we began working on a template with our carpenters.

It costs less than the price of a coffee… ☕
The full new enclosure and sprayhood needs to be sturdy and capable of withstanding some of the harsh weather we expect to encounter during the passage. The current set-up will not cut it because above all we need shelter from the sea, rain and wind to have at least a chance of remaining dry.

Without your encouragement we would not be producing regular videos or be able to continue to push and stretch our imaginations, both in terms of creativity and sailing to new destinations.
Thank you, friends!
Peace and fair winds!

I just wanted to let you know that the ship carrying the cranes that you had in one of your videos in the last 2 months is now in Brooklyn Harbor, NYC. Just thought it was interesting.
