Custom-made: Axe Sail’s watchword

Custom-made, 100% French and local, our dodgers are designed and manufactured in our workshop in Cherbourg. Valentine, the upholstery floor manager, guides you through the various stages of the project, from choosing the shape of the hoops to selecting the color—we’re with you every step of the way.

Today, we’ve decided to present the different stages of designing a dodger

Choosing the shape of the hoops

All hoops are custom-made. Valentine works with you to define your needs in order to create a dodger that matches the look you’ve envisioned.

Hoop installation is handled by Axe Sail!

Already have hoops? No worries, we also do dodger re-covering 🙂

Taking measurements and creating the template

We come to your boat to create the template that will be used for the final dodger design.

The ideal conditions for us: no rain and no wind so the template is properly installed!

This is also why we only work in ports near Cherbourg and Granville.

Manufacturing on our floor

We manufacture all our dodgers by hand in our Cherbourg workshop using 100% French materials.

We work with renowned suppliers such as Sunbrella Fabric to offer you the best possible quality. 🙂

Installation

We tell you, Axe Sail takes care of everything!

Delivery aboard your boat, handover with our upholsterer Valentine—it’s important to us to be present throughout every stage of your project.
