Welcome aboard, Evan.
If you decide down the road to do something more elaborate (and expensive)
with your windows, my 1978 34 came with the same oval framed windows (C&C
started using the "go fast" windows on the 34 the next year). I replaced my
windows with Lewmar opening ports, which allowed me to cool the cabin on hot
days. It changed the boat's appearance slightly, but in my view the Lewmar
windows were far superior and more attractive. Something to think about for
long range planning.

Its always great to hear from another 33-1 owner. These are great boats.
Prefect size with great sailing characteristics. We have won many PHRF races
in ours. In our case, a prior owner removed the window frames entirely and
using a double sided foam tape type material stuck the windows directly to
the cabin house. We have replaced the tape twice in our 30 something years
of ownership but are not troubled with window leaks. The job is not easy and
requires cutting many short pieces of this foam tape to get around the
corners but we then screw the plexiglass to the house which compresses the
foam and creates a seal.
Good luck,
Dave.

The metal-framed windows on my 33-1 all leak, and the (vinyl?) spline is
pulling away at the corners and looks bad. The leak is between the frame
and the plexi, not the frame and the fiberglass.
I’m aware that holland marine and south shore sell the spline but at
relatively large expense.
The local window shop didn’t have anything matching in stock but
recommended picking something from CR Laurence’s options ($20-40 for a 100
ft roll), but I can’t tell which would work best.
What is the list using for replacement spline?
Also, do you recommend butyl tape or 3m vhb tape or other products for
sealing the plexi to the frame?
Please excuse any technical errors using the list on my part, this is my
first post (likely of many)
