Hiccup

Last night it dawned on me that there was a potential problem with the aft zippered sleeve interfering with the side panel window. Sure enough. It turns out that the sleeve is supposed to be secured in the area where it overlaps the window. I appear to have two options: terminate the sleeve above the window, or reduce the witdh of the sleeve. Terminating the sleeve above the window is probably the easiest option, but what I don't know is if doing so will prevent the dodger from fitting snugly in the lower part of the side panel. I loathe the thought of a wrinkly, loose-fitting dodger, especially after all the work. The alternative, reducing the sleeve's width, might be a better route, but it may make it difficult (or impossible) to secure the dodger to the aft bow since the sleeve tolerances would be so narrow.
