Window Conversion?

I was curious if anyone has replaced or knows of a good match to replace, some of the fixed port windows on either side of a C30 with opening hatches? I have to pull the windows out anyways to re-seal them and figured while I'm doing it why not replace some of them with opening ports to get some more ventilation.

Thanks in advance for any help :thumbup:

Try Catalina Direct, this web pages has a bunch. I think the ones that came on my 87 C30 are Lewmar, I'm sure of the size since I'm not at the boat.

That's weird I put the URL in the prior post and it showed up as an advertisement.

. . . why not replace some of them with opening ports to get some more ventilation.
If the windows are open during a rain, they will let the rain in when open unless you put on those silly looking 'eyebrows'. If it is not raining, just open the companionway hatch and/or remove the hatch boards.

Catalina direct sells them. I've been looking at them for my 30. They are a little pricey.
I was looking at their website but they have several different sizes and I wasn't sure if any were a direct replacement for the fixed windows.
