Currently 19 degrees F and snowing at a rate of 2-3 inches per hour on to a base of about 4 feet with very high winds in the greater Boston area (hurricane force on the coast and on the Cape). Blizzard conditions forecast through tomorrow. Can’t even get to the boat to clear snow off the cover.

Chuck, What do you mean by "fixed windows?" Aren't all good ports (windows) fixed to the coachouse, glued on, bolted on or other? I think maybe the ports that were glued on with Plexus and found on the 80's C&C designs were done that way mostly for appearance and not necesarily to add strength...

Chuck, half of the boats at our club's pier are aground, with all of the water blown out of the creek. Hope your boat is ok if you're still in the water at Broad Creek. I spent the day iceboating yesterday, but staying home today! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10205242986628074&set=pcb

Hi Dwight, By "fixed", I mean they "don't open". I also agree that the newer frameless windows aren't better than framed, and I don't think I implied that they add strength to what could have been a solid fiberglass coach roof. I just think the coachroof is stronger with the windows intact, lik

On the topic of C&C hull strength, while reviewing the original build drawings from the C&C collection at the Museum of the Great Lakes I noticed that the 43's built after hull #8 had an additional "fore gripe". This fore and aft stringer type re-enforcement runs from the mast step forward ab

This sounds well thought out but I have one thought on this. You say you painted the inside of the plexiglass black, the substrate you are now adhering to is paint and not the window itself. I'm thinking you may see the window separate from the VHB tape and leave the paint behind on the tape as

It looks like the backstay backing plate has disintegrated and the plywood gusset has rotted out at the transom end. If I'm close, the DIY sequence is: grind away bad stuff replace with good stuff A good resource is the WEST System guide to repairing fiberglass boats. http://www.westsystem.com/ss
