The fixed windows across the cabin of my '87 Oceanis 350 are past the point of repair. We rebedded them 2 years ago, but they are now badly crazed, leaking again, and the starboard curved window has a crack. This boat was built in France and word is that the molds are long gone. The SC factory doesn't support old windows either. At this point it seems I have 2 choices:
1) Find a good marine plastics supplier who can mold new windows using the old ones. There are actually 3 windows (2 side ones with wicked curves and a top one that is gently beveled). Can anyone recommend a marine plastics supplier who can shape windows as big as 2.5'x4.5'x3/8" ?
2) If I can't find a (reasonably priced) way to replace the windows, I may have to fill the space with FRP, and add two hatches in the top area. Has anyone replaced their leaky windows with FRP, and if so, any tips?
Thanks for any good advice,
