A dodger is a frame-supported canvas structure partially protecting a helmsman and other occupants in the cockpit of a sailboat from harsh weather and seas. It covers part of the cockpit and the entrance to the interior of the sailboat. Sailboat dodgers are important to sailors because, they provide the crew protection from the elements.
