Complimenten, dit is echt de mooiste zelfbouw harde buiskap die ik ooit gezien heb. Mocht je tijd over hebben om er een voor mijn Hanse 400 te bouwen....
Very nice. I have made a few Dodgers and found especially on monohulls the sides should be as much as possible parallel to the mast. Why? When heeled the windward side of dodger will direct spray water less into the cockpit. Actually good to have a water channel right there and all along the aft side of it to at least keep light spray from going into cockpit. Also people even tall can hide behind the dodger on the upwind and weather side. I do realise it is a look pretty or functional approach.
Felicidades. Muy bonito diseño y ejecución de alto nivel. El ajuste es perfecto. Tal vez una mayor longitud daría más abrigo(pero entonces molestaría a los movimientos en la bañera!)
Are you going to share your process? Very hard to figure out what is going on from the video. Did you glass over the flexible form that you created? I’d be very interested to know where you found the technique or idea. The end result is wonderful.
@@iman80skid91 Nope; apart from a PU bonding it is bolted with 2 M8 bolts to 10mm Aluminum plates that are standard laminated into the rooftop on the front. On both sides there are 2 M8 bolts connected to RAMPA nuts which I laminated into the cockpit sides.
I wonder why this extreme effort was made. Why not simply use sandwich panels made of GRP or carbon fiber? These are available in various material thicknesses and can also be bent omnidirectionally, so they would be ideal for these multi-rounded shapes. Prefabricated with thin material, reinforcement either laminated or bent with aluminum profile tubes and then a second, thicker outer shell laminated from the same material. This is much quicker and certainly easier than laminating everything yourself from a few foam cores.
Excellent workmanship on the sprayhood, but an absolutely terrible video. Useless as a guide for people wishing to do the same. Annoying music instead of commentary and an „avalanche“ of still pictures with no time to study them. What were you trying to achieve?
@@robhermse2106 Suggest a further video on the details of how you built the sprayhood. But even although the original wasn‘t supposed to be a guide, I suggest that a more structured and relaxed approach would be better. I found the „avalanche“ of pictures really irritating, as there was hardly time to study one before the next appeared.
@robhermse2106 Indeed, wow what a sprayhood. Beautiful design and I really like the build-up using the canvas frame and foam. Can you maybe provide a list of materials (foam make, fibre cloth weights, windows supply, etc) Ps. I also live in Holland and got inspired and motivated to follow your example for my boat.
I‘ve been thinking about this for my boat for a long time. I have a Rustler 36, which is on the small side for a hard dodger, so the design is really important. Nothing worse than a hard dodger that looks as if it was an afterthought. Please do provide details. I have been experimenting with hard foam insulation from the building trade. You can cut kerfs in the insulation (approx 80 to 90% of the way through) and then fill the kerfs with glue, bend the foam around a former, and clamp it in place. This makes a really good core for laminating with grp. My plan is to build up these foam strips around a temporary plywood structure on the boat, to use copper wire in the classic „stitch and glue“ technique, until I have a completed structure which I can remove and glass in side and out,
@@billfromgermany Just posted a reply with a list of materials. Think Airex plates of 2x 12mm should do the job as it can be thermoformed, using 2 layers of 12mm makes thermoforming over a frame makes this process easier. The 12 mm will provide a good groove for 8mm perspex windows with a glue layer of 4mm. Please drop a mail to rob.hermse@home.nl for more details and/or pics
This is the first dodger I have seen that is good looking. Both the shape and the two different colors are important to its looks. Very nice!
Excellent work this is the best one off dodger build iv’e seen, well done
Beautiful work, serious craftsmanship and well thought out design. Thank you for sharing.
Great work Congratulations 🎉
Excellent work, it came out beautifully!
Yes, that's the best hard dodger I have seen on TH-cam. Great work, well proportioned.
Nice work and the color choice is a win.
finally a dodger that makes the boat look better!
Really impressive work and unusually, is a significant aesthetic addition to the boat
Exceptionally fine work and design.
Fantastic job along with the evocative music played for one of my favourite series , The Onedin Line
Looks great, having built one myself I fully appreciate the amount of effort, well done
Wow! Spectacular looking - really suits the looks of the boat. All we need now is for you to make a few more for the other 350 owners😂
That is so cool! Impressive craftsmanship! And the details and functions - wow!
Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Very impressive…….my last yacht had a hard dodger and it was marvellous…my new yacht is a Hanse…wish I could get you to do the same !!😂
Fantastique travail ! L’intégration est magnifique 😮
What a great video and a stunning, functional end result. Beautiful!!
Excellent. Looks beautiful
EXCELENTE TRABAJO Y DISEÑO MUY ELEGANTE !!!! SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA !!!
What piece of work. Well thought out design!
Beautiful work...great outcome.
wow, great craftsmanship!
Nicely done! I'm a bit of a fan of hard dodgers.
Best looking hard dodger I have ever seen! Great video as well.
Outstanding video!
excellent job! nice music too!
Not something the average bear can accomplish. Very skilled craftsman at work. And functionally beautiful work it is.
Wow! Best looking dodger ever. I want one for my X 😃
Excepcional. Un diseño elegante y bien construido.
Perfecto
Complimenten, dit is echt de mooiste zelfbouw harde buiskap die ik ooit gezien heb. Mocht je tijd over hebben om er een voor mijn Hanse 400 te bouwen....
That looks very good!
Thanks! Sailed the 🇳🇴SE coast with it, we’ll be back next summer🤙🏼
Very nice.

cool tip... I´m already looking how to build one... but I do not even have a boat... ;p
Well done
Danke für die schöne Inspektion.
Whow, sieht super aus!
Felicidades. Muy bonito diseño y ejecución de alto nivel. El ajuste es perfecto. Tal vez una mayor longitud daría más abrigo(pero entonces molestaría a los movimientos en la bañera!)
Very good!
Prachtig Rob! Petje af.
Super Rob. Geeft me weer ideeën en een klus 😅
@@berendjanweurding9866 succes 👍🏼
un'opera d'arte
@@paoloorione 😏
Amazing.
sei proprio bravo
which classical piece is that we hear? Excellent job mate, going to be saved to get ideas when my turn will come! TY!
That's "Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia" from the ballet Spartacus composed by Aram Khachaturian.
Enjoy when the time is there!
@@robhermse2106 thank you mate! will do!
If making top look like explorer yacht maybe do the bottom too, laminate the grid and 2x the size of the keel bolts..
Fully agree w.r.t. the (none existing) laminate of the grid to the hull! Size of keelbolts and plates are ok.
That dodger will probably outlast the boat itself… now you have to make more of these and also for other makes and models…😊
@@suatst thanks! But this one took me about 500hrs, have a load of other (boat) projects for this winter😏

Hi peter, about 3wks ago I did a reply were I discribed all materials that I used. The techniques and ideas are mosly derived from TH-cam🙂
Khachaturian!!! ❤❤❤
Sehr unterhaltend - und mir hat vor allem die Musik gut gefallen! Bitte: was ist denn das fuer ein Konzert? / Komponist?
Adagio from Spartacus by Aram Katsjatoerian
Kan makkelijker ( en sneller).
Maar het eindresultaat telt .
Leren kost tijd,succes 🎉.
Looks like very nice work. It would be much easier to see everything being done without the fades and moving transitions in the slide show though.
@@kenyonstewart7120 I agree with that, thinking about making one without the transitions…
Si seria genial sin las transiciones. Justo estoy con la idea de sustituir el mío por uno nuevo.
Wow.❤
How is the dodger secured to the coach roof....doesn't look mechanicaly fixed...so is it bonded
@@iman80skid91 Nope; apart from a PU bonding it is bolted with 2 M8 bolts to 10mm Aluminum plates that are standard laminated into the rooftop on the front. On both sides there are 2 M8 bolts connected to RAMPA nuts which I laminated into the cockpit sides.
@robhermse2106 ok cool thank you for answering

Ahh. The video is 10 mins. I still clicked as i was not doing anything on my boat for 15 minutes. Build dodger then boil jug for cup of char.

Agree, it’s absolutely not pretending to be a guide. When interested I’ll can inform you about the details.
