A Note to Fellow Fabricators


The following are a series of images
showing the details of Iverson's dodgers.
Click on any image below to enlarge it.

Side Storage Pockets

There is never enough storage on a boat. These storage pockets, located on port and starboard sides of canvas dodger, are great for storing light weight objects such as: cell phones, handheld GPS, sunscreen, etc.
(Comes standard on every Iverson's base model dodger)
Overhead Flashlight

For those times when you need to see the combination lock or key slot on your companionway slider. Located overhead on the aft edge of the canvas dodger, this pocket holds a Mini-Maglite (included).
(Comes standard on every Iverson's base model dodger)

Forward and Aft Chafe Guards

To help ensure a longer life on our dodgers, we have identified areas of high-wear and incorporated chafe guards. The chafe guards not only make the canvas dodger more durable but also add to the styling. The chafe guard and reinforcing material is a long lasting, high wear synthetic composition that comes in a variety of colors. You can choose to color coordinate with your dodger's canvas for a softer monochromatic appearance or choose a complementary contrasting color for a more dynamic and defined look. The choice is yours. Frequently, we will use a color that is close to the gel-coat color of your boat. This helps to integrate the canvas dodger form into your boats appearance. To help you match your new canvas dodger to your boat's existing color scheme, you can Build-A-Dodger online.

Forward Compression Struts

With these compression struts, located on either side of the companionway, the structural integrity of an Iverson's canvas dodger is significantly increased.

To help you decided which of the following frame upgrades to choose, you can Build-A-Dodger Frame online.

(Comes standard on every Iverson's base model dodger)
Forward Compression Struts with Grab Rails

Increase safety aboard your boat with forward strut grabs. These grab rails are welded-on to the forward struts of your canvas dodger frame which are located on the sides of your companion way entrance. They provide a stable and secure place to grab when entering the companion way during rough waters. These grab sets are available for custom installation with your Iverson's canvas dodger order or can be custom made to your measurements and shipped directly to you. Please call or email for more information.
(Optional add-on to an Iverson's base model dodger)
Aft Grab Rail

Increase safety aboard your boat with a welded-on back grab rail. This grab rail is welded on to the aft edge of your canvas dodger frame and spans the width of your cockpit. It provides a secure and stable place to grab in the cockpit when in rough waters. Also, the back grab rail protects the aft edge of your canvas dodger from deterioration. When people enter or exit the cockpit they tend to always grab the aft edge of the canvas dodger even if there isn't a grab rail. The problem with this is that over time the repetition of constantly grabbing this edge deteriorates it because of the natural oils of your hands, from the sunscreen, the potato chips, the pressure of someone's weight pushing against the canvas, etc.. If you take a walk down the docks and look at older dodgers with no back grab you will see that this area tends to deteriorate the quickest. Also, from a safety standpoint, being able to wrap your hand around a back grab rail is a more secure grip than clamping your hand onto the aft edge of a canvas dodger.
(Optional add-on to an Iverson's base model dodger)
Bolted-On Side Grab Rails

Increase safety aboard your boat with a set of side grab rails bolted on to your canvas dodger. These grab rails are located on both sides of the canvas dodger and are ideally positioned at a height for grabbing when going forward on the deck. They provide a secure and stable place to grab in rough waters or when boarding your boat. These grab sets are available for custom installation with your Iverson's canvas dodger order or can be custom made to your measurements and shipped directly to you. Please call or email for more information.

High-Quality Welding

Our welders are highly skilled in the art of stainless steel welding. Rather then erasing a weld, we prefer letting the weld bead show off our attention to quality and detail. From welding to stitching, every aspect of our canvas dodger design is meticulously crafted.
(Comes standard on every Iverson's base model dodger)
Reinforcement
(clew of dodger)

In reference to the three points of a sail (clew, tack and head) the clew being the lower aft edge of a sail, Iverson's dodgers are constructed to reflect the styling of a sail.

Iverson's base model dodger)
Intricate Stitching

Iverson's production team meticulously sew our canvas dodgers together using our protected* stitch pattern design and technique. It's through the intricate stitching that the unique quality of Iverson's distinct canvas dodger design has become well respected in the marine industry. Our philosophy is that the stitching should accentuate the design both functionally and aesthetically, as it is a representation of the integrity behind the Iverson's canvas dodger design.
*The unique ornamental stitch pattern design of the Iverson's dodger is protected by law.

Following Lines Of Boat

Whether your boat is a sleek racing sloop or a traditional cutter rig, our focus is on blending a canvas dodger with the lines of your boat.

Each boat has it’s own unique set of obstacles for a canvas dodger design. At Iverson’s, we acknowledge these challenges and creatively find ways to enhance the design with them.
