New windows are here!
Decided on windows
After much debate on whether we should try to restore original (corroded) windows, go for simple thru-bolted acrylic panels, or buy a new set, we decided to go with a new set. Found a company, Mark Plastics, that manufactured windows for Capital Yachts (Newport 30s). Nadya reused old holiday wrapping paper to create templates and make measurements and I stopped by USPS this morning to mail those over.
The demolition crew
Removing windows
Removing windows in preparation for deck and interior paint. Will likely replace those leaky windows with new acrylic (properly sealed).
It’s sad to let the originals go but they are too corroded and not water tight.
What I learned today:
- By Murphy’s Law, the last bolt will have to be drilled out.
