Windows for Niagara 26

[George Jarvis]

Where can I purchase main cabin replacement windows for a Niagara 26?

Welcome the forum!!

Please post a photo of the wiindows you want to replace. Is it like the one in the Niagara 26 photo below with a single acrylic lens adhered to the cabin or does it have a built-in frame?

Here is a photo of the current window.

Looks like a fixed window with an aluminum frame. Do you want to replace the frame and window lens or just the window lens?

I’d rather replace the whole thing is the price is reasonable. Can the lens be replaced easily?

Looks like a custom window so replacement will be expensive. Lowest cost is to replace the lens only. You will need to remove the window, disassemble the lens and take it to a retail plastics shop for a new one. I am currently replacing 4 portlights, frame and lens, with custom ones from Man Ship on a 37 year old boat since they are a non standard size.

Thanks for all your help. I think I will try removing and replacing the lens.

You might find this article might be helpful: DIY: Replacing Fixed Portlights - Sail Magazine . Good luck with the project and let forum know how it turned out with pics AND if you have any questions along the way please post them. In the meantime, maybe the forum will be able to find a source for the window.
