Progress continues on the dodger project. Finally, got Isabella back in the water and new rigging installed. The dodger has been put on the back burner. I have to have it to go to the Bahamas in the spring, so will be getting back to it soon.

Hard Dodger Build

A Hard Dodger is a must in my book. So I am attempting to design and build one that will be both functional and not take away from the lines of the boat. There are additional pics in the Gallery.

I was able to finish the companionway hatch slide and the hatch lids. I used Perfection two part varnish for the finish. This requires that you remove old one part varnishes to apply. With these made of new teak it was a good time to try a two part varnish. So far I like it a lot. It can be applied in consecutive coats with out sanding. I found that it is necessary to sand before the last coat to get a near perfect finish. I used foam brushes and sprayed the final coat.
I also remade the teak nose cap and plan to varnish all the cap-rails to match.
