Hi Ian,
The two Ebbtide blogs/groups are not active anymore, as far as I know. Pity, as we all can learn from each other.
Regarding my hard dodger, I will send you a bunch of photos on a separate email. It is one of the best improvements that I have done, especially for cold weather sailing.
I used pre glassed pvc honeycomb panels,and built it using the " stitch and glue" method with West System epoxy. It has come out well, but could have been better. For example, I should have glassed in conduits for wiring for lights, cockpit speakers etc. things I had to add later.
Where are you? I am currently in Langkawi Malaysia.
Cheers for now,
Bill.
