Has anyone done this? 3 years ago I had one window remade inside and out, a couple repaired, and all 6 on the fwd cabin, shower room, and head (not under cover) repainted. 2 now look bad again in parts.
I had aluminum windows on a previous boat remade, in aluminum. (Here we call and spell it aluminium, it fascinated some Americans during a cycle trip in Ireland). Cost was very reasonable, from a factory in Queensland.
There is an IG for sale here which has windows replaced in aluminum, looks fine, all current Clipper and Integrity boats have them. It would cost, but would be a long term fix for a recurrent problem. Teak windows custom remade do not come cheap. I believe it will look fine, the wooden windows protected by the Europa design are far enough,and are ok.
Anyone done it? How did it go, what did it cost? Other thoughts?
