We want a dodger for our Mark II:
1. Any suggestions for design elements/options/sources?
2. I like the Genco solution, and I see there are satisfied customers in the archives.
3. Seems to me that a welded handrail option is a good idea?
4. Is the material for the standard windows OK? (As opposed to the Lexan option).
5. Any other thoughts?
6. Is the extra brace necessary?
Thank you.

contact these folks....<a href="wtchr.do?lang=eng&prtl=1&estblmntNo=123456083436&link=http://www.sportechsails.com/">http://www.sportechsails.com/</a> for dodgers. Better fit and finish than most other suppliers.
Thanks - I contacted Sportech.
UPDATE: They referred me elsewhere, since their pattern does not accomodate coach head travellers.

1. Design elements? Opt for maximum window area.
2. Supplier? We all tend to defend our choices, but I can only say that I found Genco's product, price (half my local guy's quote) and delivery time(a couple of weeks rather than months) exceptional. Santiva's in their dodger album.
3. Handrail? In hindsight, one on either side of the main uprights as well as one across the top might be desirable -- depends on your surefootedness, etc.
4. Lexan option? I gather it's easier to scratch than the standard Acrylic but have no personal experience.
6. If you mean the one that extends back at an angle from the upper portion of the main bow, I'd say yes. I plan to add one.
5. Other thoughts? I plan to have them make a new bimini and "gap closer" this winter. Good luck with whomever you choose.

This seems an opportune time to pass on a tip I got from an ex-Canadian Forces Starfighter pilot - clean your dodger windows with Gilette Foamy.
He told me that canopy cleaning was a task that the pilots did not delegate to ground crew, but did themselves. Foamy was the agent of choice because at base, it's very finely milled soap and nothing else, so it gets into any scratches that are there and removes dirt, but won't add to the scratches that inevitably are already there.
