Professional Sailboat Dodger Fabrication & Installation

If you're searching for a custom sailboat dodger in Annapolis, MD, Salt & Sail Canvas designs and fabricates marine-grade dodgers tailored specifically to your vessel.

A properly built dodger provides critical protection from wind, spray, and sun exposure — while maintaining visibility and structural integrity underway.

Every dodger we build is measured on-site at your marina and fabricated using premium materials selected for Chesapeake Bay boating conditions.

No generic kits. No universal frames. Just precision craftsmanship built for your boat.

Why a Custom Dodger Matters

Sailboats demand structural stability and clear sightlines. A poorly fitted dodger can obstruct visibility, trap moisture, or fail under wind load.

Our custom dodgers are designed to:

✔ Maintain clean, unobstructed visibility
✔ Withstand wind pressure under sail
✔ Provide reliable protection from spray
✔ Integrate seamlessly with biminis or enclosures
✔ Preserve the aesthetic lines of your vessel

We build for both function and form.
