John,
Can you read minds?? 
I was indeed thinking of a removable panel in the roof, but fully integrated and largely invisible from the outside. I’ll have a look and see if I can steal some ideas.
Nice work, looks beautiful. Please post more pictures when the job is finished.
I assume the dodger in the video yours? I like the (hatch) slide in the dodger. What type of plastic did you use?
Happy sailing

I used Makrolon (polycarbonate)
Thickness : 2mm
Perhaps not enough but this Makrolon was given to me (by a friend).
Polycarbonate is really very strong.
I’ve tested it with a hammer. After having received several hits, the polycarbonate did not tear.
Hello Michel,
This topic isa rather old but I was wondering how the hard dodger project worked out.
Regards,
