Zipper-flap-thingie

Mother Nature is toying with my emotions. The weather service is forecasting snow tomorrow and ice on Sunday, so it doesn't look like Ariel's cover is coming off any time soon.

Before cleaning up my mess in the living room and dining room, I added a flap to the aft edge of the dodger that will allow us to quickly attach a cockpit shade. I cut a piece of Sunbrella 50" long and 1-1/4" wide to match the rear curve, attached one half of the zipper, and added binding to all of the edges. I then sewed the piece to the dodger top.
