John, we have a small dodger that we had on Hearbeat and still use on Black H=
awk. We cruised to Maine nine years ago and it worked well, you can still us=
e the winches with it up if need be but it does protect the companionway are=
a on rainy and rough days. I will take some pic=E2=80=99s early next week an=
d post them, we took it back off for racing, installs in two minutes.
