Oday 25 Lesconil
Hello, I am the only O'day 25 in France and it is difficult to find information.
I’d like to make a crash hood, but I don’t have the plans.
Could someone draw me a picture with the overall odds?
Thank you in advance and sorry for my English.

Are you referring to a bimini, dodger or something else? If you have a pic from another boat with what you're looking for it would help

Dodgers, or crash hoods, are usually custom made. What might be right for one sailer may not work for another. For example, the one in the picture looks very tall to me. A tall helmsman may be able to look over it to see. A shorter helmsman would have to look thru the plastic window. One size doesn't fit all.
The company Sailright has instructions on how to make a dodger. Local sailmakers will able to design and make one too. In US coastal areas there are many companies who specialize in making all sorts of enclosures. I expect that is so in France too. It's best to use a local company who can visit your boat to measure and fit it.
