The unit is based on a standard dodger made by Genco for the P-23, with the addition of a custom bimini designed by me together with Nat Genco. The rear bow of the bimini drops inside the pushpit, and the bimini can be unzipped on either or both sides for partial/full detachment from the dodger. I normally leave the unit up all summer, and it has stood up to some pretty solid blows. The front panel of the dodger unzips and is normally thrown up on top of the dodger for fair weather sailing, ie little frontal air resistance.
