A DIY step-by-step tutorial on how to build a hardtop for a boat.
Refitting Atticus took us 3 long years, during which time it was difficult to decide what we absolutely needed on the boat before setting off to cruise!
We’ve always known we wanted to build a hard dodger on Atticus, but we weren’t really sure what design features we’d like and need. After all, during our refit, we never left the dock for more than 3 nights at a time!
So, over the last year while sailing Atticus through Cuba and Mexico without any protection from the elements, we’ve had some time to hone in on a custom design.
In this episode, we FINALLY have the time and money saved up from our boat work in Isla Mujeres, Mexico to work on our hard dodger.
Check out Jordan’s design process and the first steps we take towards building our very own hard dodger!
