We did this to protect our family.

It looks great! Custom fabricated for what YOU need...well done!

Marvelous work! I hope you're going to filter the rainwater because it can contain pollution and forever chemicals.

The enclosure came out great! What an improvement for your lifestyle.

Game changer. Looks fantastic.

What an awesome crew on Ocean Melody ❤

Malisa,I hope I am not speaking out of turn, but you have such a pretty face.

Wow! Looks great. Lovely job. 😎❤️👍

Both you and Melissa have done an amazing job on the Dodger.

One of the reasons sailboats have such a lousy reputation for discomfort is the unsheltered cockpit.

If I had one large enough to live aboard, I'd have a hard awning at the very least. It would be sturdy enough to survive a roll over. The front, back, and side panels would be snapped in place and be considered somewhat sacrificial.

Ultimate is different for every boat..... so there can be more than one.

Great dodger Rodger!

Fantastic job and it looks great! 😊❤️

Love it! Great work! And an entertaining video

The title of this clip is so funny! 😅 But probably quite accurate tbh. As a keen DIYer I am quite impressed with your skills 👌👍⛵

Sorry but @expeditionevans is far superior than anyone’s.

Guys - it really doesn't matter whether WE think it spoils the lines of the boat - it's your boat so it's your view that matters not ours. So much thought, planning and skill has gone into making the dodger that you've ended up with something that not only works but looks fab too. Great job Team Melody and all of the guys that have helped pull this off. I would add that Dan and Kika might have to up their game to compete with your hard dodger. 🙂

I always comment for engagement, but it really does look sick. All the better knowing you both made it from scratch.

Those side and rear panels were an absolute game changer and the end result is testament to Melissa's hard work.

Looks fantastic Andy. You and Melissa should be very proud of what you have achieved here.

Yachts are meant to look sleek, you've decided to use it as a caravan, it looks like one, but thats your choice, everyone to there own.

This was a great film, well made and presented. You both did a great job, good luck. best regards B

Preferred the old one!

Only joking guys it looks great :)

It is an amazing Artisan creation, it looks absolutely amazing on the boat

Fabulous! I'm very envious!

Excellent job Andy, it looks great and I imagine the level of protection it provides, without losing visibility at all.

U did a great job 👍 well done 😁

Looks OEM to me. Nice work.👌

Turned out nice again.

It looks brilliant

Melissa, you did an amazing job on that sewing work absolutely amazing. You could get a bit of work on the side doing that stuff for sure.

Amazing job you guys!!!!

It’s too late fir now but my concern would be damaging the rear window would entail expensive replacement. 2 smaller panels might be an advantage also the main sheet lines could be led through a small slit in the bottom of the canvas???

Construciton??? Did you see it too? 😁 ;-)

Looks amazing, well done all of you, enjoy the summer

She other channels with interesting and elaborate dodger builds are, Evans and Thomas.

Well done.

Dear Melissa and Andy.
👍👌👏 Extremely well done! I almost forgot how much work/effort has gone into this great hard dodger. You two did a great job and fortunately lots of brainstorming. Therefore the cockpit enclosure is functional in several ways. You designed and fabricated a perfectly fitting and fabulous looking addition to the boat. Congratulations 🎉!
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.

It's all come together beautifully. It's the perfect outdoor/indoor space. Well done all of you!

It was a long/hard work, but definitely worth it. 👍

You did a great work!

Beautiful improvement, she's looking great 👍

Great summary of the project!

I am amazed at your genius for designing and building what Melody needed and overwhelmed at Melisa’s skill in designing and building the surrounding fabric sides! Not easy!❤

Amazing work.

Feeling slightly jealous of your hard top!

You guys are really something else - such dedication to getting things right!! Love you and family, wishing you every success & happiness in your future endeavors. Can’t wait to see you in Australia (Noosa, Sunshine Coast, Queensland) Kindest regards with smooth seas &🥰 following winds. Brian, Irish M.N.Master Mariner (Retired)
