Hi Curtis, Are you talking about replacing just the windows in the aluminum frames on your 30-1? I replaced the windows and splines on my 1975 30-1 last year and it was a breeze. I actually was able to use the same windows as they cleaned up very nicely with a plastic polish. It would have been a simple matter to use the old windows as a template for cutting new ones had I needed them.
I ordered the spline and backing from southshoreyachts.com for maybe $60 for all 4 windows (other listers had mentioned alternate sources for less dough). I installed it in an hour or two. The original spline had dried out and was white and chalky - the new spline fit perfectly and the leaks are a thing of the past. Looks like new too. The Southshore window kit includes detailed instructions as I recall. Good luck, Joe Boyle 1975 30-1 'Zia' Annapolis ----- Original Message ----- From: Curtis via CnC-List<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> To: CnC-List@cnc-list.com<mailto:CnC-List@cnc-list.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2014 8:21 AM Subject: Stus-List C&C30MK1 windows and hatch replacements Good morning, I'm thinking of a winter project to replace the cabin side windows with something stronger and nice. Has anybody undergone this project that could share their process and maybe some photos ? Do I just cut them out with a razor knife and take them to a lexan shop and have them duplicate them in a lighter color? Is there a framed in type? I have been stopping leaks in them windows sense I got the boat? I also want to rebuild the forward hatch and need something strong and that lets in more light. I need to know if the gasket around the inside is replaceable? Mine is cracking up and needs to be replaced. all-tho the leaking looks to be the caulking of the class itself to the frame. If you can share some in-depth details on how the two mentioned projects are to be completed I would be very thankful. I am very good at DIY projects and could do this project without imput. It is so much nicer hearing from people that have done it.
