You need to look at it as two problems The first is a dogger that is supposed to keep the salon dry when you want the companion way open (summer...
Now we are getting somewhere So far I see the best solution is a hard dogger the same height as a conventional canvas dogger, with a sliding...
Eric, Hard Dogger on the '45 I was thinking about a hard dogger sim. to the one you have drawn on the 45 on my 38' Benny, but I have been...
