H23.5 Aft Berth Opening Portlights?

[VT Fitz]

Apropos of stuffiness in the aft berth, I looked back in the archives for info on folks who may have installed such item(s) & didn't find much except for a short thread in '01.The admiral thinks this is a great idea, with one or two opening portlights facing into the cockpit. Anyone have experience to share on this idea?

We have one

Take a look at the way the H26 is set up. There is a portlight that opens and faces into the cockpit. The H260 has a nice set-up, there window/portlight is under a rear seat, which opens up.

After 1994 they were standard

I have a 1994 23.5 and it does not have one but I believe after 1994 Hunter began installing one Beckson port on the starboard side of the cockpit of the 23.5 so it is something consumers saw a need for and Hunter started doing it. I do like what Mike Howell has on his boat. Not only does it put freshair down thee but it also adds light.

I added a second port on my 1988 28.5

Thanks for the photo, Mike.My wife originally got on to the idea when we saw it on a 260, Charisma. Do you have a picture of yours, per chance?Does anyone have a picture of a port(s) facing into the cockpit.
