Title: Dodger Clips
Post by: patprice on March 01 2016, 05:38

As can be seen, if photo is not too bad, the clip part is broken. Holds the spray dodger on my B42 to the deck.
Measures 22 mm (7/8") across the head.
Anyone know a supplier.
Thanks
Pat

Sailrite.com is a good place for canvas/sail material.
Could it be one of these?

If not try to send them the picture and ask.

The dodgers on my boat have wide hems along the top and bottom, the upper guard rail wire is fed through the top while a separate rope is fed through the bottom and is secured to the bottoms of the the adjacent rail stanchions. I've also fitted brass eyelets to the forward and aft ends of the dodgers to enable the ends to be tied off to the adjacent stanchions. The dodgers stay in place perfectly throughout the season.

We had the same clips on the canvaswork of a Hanse which we previously owned. We were able to buy new clips but I can't remember where from but it was Hanse that put us in touch with the supplier.

Gooday Lost Cause and thanks. Did you get the clips in Europe somewhere ?
