Making our own dodger and enclosure Sailboat Maintenance

In this episode of Sailing Unwritten Timeline, we fabricate a new dodger and full enclosure. The dodger installed is more than 10 years old and showing significant signs of wear and tear. We didn’t have an enclosure when we purchased Unwritten Timeline so we have to create that from scratch. It was a fun time and a fantastic upgrade. We have plenty of shade and ventilation now while we’re at anchor in the Caribbean.
