I agree as well. As per this article. I did it this april, and so far so good. No screws.
http://www.sailmagazine.com/diy/ask-sail/replacing-fixed-portlights I posted a photo of one side where you can see the new windows. it's the side that was completely dug out to replace rotten balsa core along the genoa track. 12' by 1' section of deck was out. One of the contributors to rotten balsa were those windows. http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=130099 <http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=130099&d=14 72209190> &d=1472209190 Petar Horvatic Sundowner 76 C&C 38MkII Newport, RI From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of mike amirault via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2016 4:11 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: amira...@bellaliant.net Subject: Re: Stus-List Window Leak I agree with Alan; more screws are just going to make the leak worse.
