Traditional and California Dodgers

I specialize in custom Traditional and California Sailboat Dodgers, designed to meet your boat’s unique needs. "Custom marine canvas" means the canvas work is tailored to your boat's details and your specific requirements. This ensures a precise fit, professional appearance, and exceptional quality rarely matched by factory-made products.

I collaborate with you to design the frame, ensuring your sailboat dodger delivers both the look and functionality you need.

High-Quality Materials

All framing hardware and tubing are made from marine-grade stainless steel—no aluminum tubing, plastic fittings, or fasteners. A solid, durable frame is the foundation of a long-lasting and great-looking dodger.

The pattern is created with the frame installed on your boat, guaranteeing a perfect fit with clean lines and snug canvas.

Premium Components

I use Sunbrella marine fabrics, Solarfix thread, and O’Sea vinyl boat window film—a combination engineered to withstand harsh marine conditions while maintaining a sleek appearance for years. Unlike cheaper factory options that use lower-quality materials, my approach ensures superior durability, better fit, and long-term value.

Proven Design Methods

My California and Traditional Dodgers are crafted using the renowned designs and techniques developed by Mark and Deb Hood of Hood Canvas. Mark, an IFAI Certified Master Fabric Craftsman, is celebrated worldwide for his innovative Traditional and California Dodger designs.
