Local Resources

Here's what I would do. Get the yellow pages out for Halifax and search out sail lofts, such as North, Doyle, Sobstad and give them a call. Not all lofts do canvas work but they are in the bus. and could give you leads. Also look in the yellow pages for boat top or local canvas shops and ask if they do dodgers. Invite them out to your boat for a measurement and consultation. Ask them to bring along their picture book (most do) of jobs that meet your taste and style and what extras you may want to incorporate into the dodger. Also ask for references and give the customer a call. They may never have worked on a 322 (not many in Pictou Nova Scotia I'd guess) but on something close perhaps.Is there a marine trade mag for the Atlantic provinces? Check at your local chandlery. Check out the ads for canvas shops. Good luck.Don

322 Dodger at Genco marine Toronto

We have a dodger and bimisni made by Genco Marine who are on the internet I believe.The dodger we have needs adjustments which I will have them make. But they have the patterns and have built both items for O'Day 322"s. I intend to contac them this fall to come and see the adjustments needed. Aseries of photographs that show acurately the fittings around the traveler are needed for them to be precise in fitting the front bottom part of the dodger. I have seen dodgers on other 322's made by other manufacturers as well

Dodger for O'Day 322

I have recently put a custom dodger on Abundant Joy. To the best of my knowledge, there is no one who makes them for this boat "off-the-shelf". I am pretty satisfied with mine, but if I had it to do over again, I would insist on a couple of minor modifications.
