Hard top Dodger

[Chevy1217]

Hey I was wondering I have a 30' Clark San Juan SL and was wondering if anyone has a set of plans for building a Hard top with windows and it would come back at least to the jib winches just before them I would like to have on styled like a Bimini dodger but want it to be Fiberglass. Has anyone done this on any boat say in the 30-36 foot class mono hull sloop I Cruz in some pretty wet conditions I.e. waves wind and Rain the PNW is know for that and just want something that would keep the wind and spray off me it gets rather cold at times. Please help me to Build one I have plenty of time and a Budget is not a Problem Thank You and hope to have some Great responses and Hopefully some AWESOME Plans
Thanks Chevy (Jack) SV UsCa

There is an Island 30 that just moved to La Conner. New Owner is Bob. He owns the Kayak shop on the south end of town. The boat was in Everett. Owned by a friend of mine. He built the hard dodger on the boat. It may give you some ideas.
Attached is a picture I took before it was sold. Tell Bob that John from the Everett Marina told you about his new boat.

Search the 48N mag. There's a guy that makes hard top dodgers. I think he might even be pretty close to you

I'm going to be checking them out and that is exactly what I would like on my Boat. I just don't want a Canvass one I feel a Fiberglass one would last as long as the boat would. Less likely to tear or blow off with Safety Glass windows or Lexan acrylic it would be so much nicer Thanks for the Info Greatly appreciated
Thank You Chevy
