  • This week we get to design and build a hard dodger template for our cockpit. Part 2 will be coming soon.
    We also show the finished electrical switch panel which was custom made for us according to our design.

    We installed a hatch in the top of our hard dodger which allows us to hoist the engine up to cockpit level with a chain hoist attached to the boom. Then we use some timber on which we slide the engine aft far enough to clear the hard top and lift it off.

    The stainless switch panel looks superb & the hard dodger design looks exceptional, the old Oyster is going to look an absolute Gem with the changes you've made so far. Well done & keep up the good work.

      Glad you like the switch panel ☺️ The dodger needs few tweaks but overall we are really pleased with it.
      We will do our absolute best to turn Squalo into a real gem 😁

    I built a hard dodger from marine grade aluminium after first photographing the boat from each side then designed the dodger to follow the original lines , I put rain channels/grab handles along the sides , very comfortable super addition , makes for a much dryer boat

    • @sailingsqualo

      Nice one 🙌 Building a dodger and building a dodger that goes with the line of the yacht and complements it are two different things. 😉 I hope ours also turns out well. 🤞

    I dont know where your mainsheet is located but like on my boat its in the cockpit deck and always in the way. If i would build a hard dodger id definitely attach the mainsheet to it! Subscribed to follow up (:

    • @sailingsqualo
      @sailingsqualo  2 года назад

      Our main sheet is literally in front of the mizzen, right behind the helmsman. ☺️

    I'd definitely prefer a nicely built and functioning hard dodger.. are you going to run canvas from the hard dodger to the back of the cockpit and have canvas sides so that you can enclose the entire cockpit on a rainy or cold day?? Doing so will allow you to have use of the cockpit no matter what the weather is

    • @sailingsqualo
      @sailingsqualo  10 месяцев назад +1

      That is the plan! 👍🙌 So we stay warm and cosy and cockpit will become like an extension to our saloon, which isn’t that big tbh.

      @sailingsqualo  2 года назад

      Zgadza się! 😁 będzie cieplej, bedzie ochrona przed wiatrem i deszczem, będzie miejsce na światełka 🤩nie będzie dużo większy od poprzedniego ale tamten był częściowo składany, poza rym całkowicie się rozpadł. Trzeba było znaleść rozwiązanie na nowy..oto i on! 🙃 Buziaki 😘

    I think hard dodgers and pilot houses are far better for crew moral.

    • @sailingsqualo

      Couldn’t agree more. 😃 It’s going to be cozy, warm (or at least warmer than without it), It will have lovely lights fitted for reading.. it’s going to be great 😊

      @@sailingsqualo calling a channel is probably not right. We put those up so some potential buyers could see it way back. We have since done a lot of work. I have a great deal of respect for those that can work on their boats and edit videos, way to much work for us to do videos as well.

    You could also use the hard dodger to collect rain water, like the Free Range Sailing guys did: ruclips.net/video/w5wYICajlek/видео.html
