Pete:
I replaced the fixed windows on my ’78 C&C 34 with Lewmar opening ports (roughly the same size and shape as the 70s vintage 33/34 oval windows). The issue with opening windows is that they must lay flat to work correctly. It took considerable effort to get this right on the 34 because the cabin top surface where the original windows were installed was not perfectly flat. It was a great upgrade for hot days, but the more the surface curve (top to bottom/fore and aft), the more difficult it will be to install them correctly.

I’m considering glassing over where the lenses sit and installing opening ports. Probably two on each side. I’m reaching out to the group to see who has tackled this project and are there suggestions on how to best finish the inside to make it look decent. Thanks,
