Does anyone have any clever ideas on how to store the dodger sections when they are not fixed on the boat?

Re: Dodger storage?
You do not want to fold these under any circumstance. As our dodger is made of sunbrella and isenglass (some kind of soft vinyl plastic window) - we roll each panel into a tube and use velcro straps (soft side facing toward the plastic) with the hook side facing out. Then, they are easy to stow in the empty berth against the carpet liner, and the velcro holds them in place. Our alternate option (when we have guests occupying that cabin) is to tuck them into a lazarette - we've got the 36 and the two forward lockers are HUGE. We used netting and hooks that came for the cargo area of our old station wagon to hold them in place and prevent them from moving around.

Re: Dodger storage?
Thank you. When the spare berth is not occupied we just lay them flat on the mattress. When we have guests is when we have the issue. I will try as you suggest and roll them. The truth is that is actually what Rebecca suggested to me this morning. Perhaps I should listen to her more?
