Am fairly happy with this dodger profile on my 33ii. Make sure you set the height so that any helmsmen can see over or under the frame. The Handrails on the side are very useful. The bimini design is good, with the exception that you cannot see the masthead from the helm. It keeps the rain and sun off. Strangely, the PO had put a window in the connector piece, between the dodger and bimini, which cannot be used under sail due to the cockpit traveller. Also, when the traveller is off to one side, and the sheets are eased, they foul the side of the dodger. I have "running dodger stays" where I slack the one side when the situation occurs. We like to sail with the dodger window open - better to see. Make sure you canvas maker facilitates being able to fasten the window to the top of the dodger, rather than loosely rolled up in the opening, blocking view. I have a short winch handle that allows me to use the cabin top winches.
