BUILDING A HARD DODGER Pt 1 - SAILING FOLLOWTHEBOAT Ep 106

We've spent months trying to come up with a hard dodger design which is going to be practical for our passage to the PNW via Japan... Building a hard dodger from scratch is no easy task, but finally crunch day arrived and we had to get started on our mini boat refit. So, after a few false starts, we began working on a template with our carpenters. It needs to be sturdy and capable of withstanding some of the harsh weather we expect to encounter during the passage. The current set-up will not cut it because above all we need shelter from the sea, rain and wind to have at least a chance of remaining dry. Without your encouragement we would not be producing regular videos or be able to continue to push and stretch our imaginations, both in terms of creativity and sailing to new destinations. 🙏 SUPPORT US THROUGH THE RUM FUND http://followtheboat.com/THANKS/ 🙏 SUPPORT US ON PATREON https://www.patreon.com/followtheboat Thank you, friends!
