I live in the Pacific northwest and often find myself cruising in the fall (can even have nasty weather here in mid summer). A hard dodger has been on my list of things to do for sometime, though with the
lines of my boat I don't have much room so it will have to be pretty low profile. (see: http://www.boat-links.com/Atkinco/Sail/images/CaptainCicero-1.gif ).
