Stus-List List Viewing Archives

[Stu]

The site called https://cnc-list.com/empathy/list/cnc-list.cnc-list.com came 
with the list upgrade.  

It is still in developmental stages and that is the reason I did not release it 
to our subscribers.  Now that everyone knows, I suggest you use it.  But be 
forewarned – it still has bugs.

As a small note – Empathy is an archiving/forum tool associated with the list 
but the list does not need Empathy to run.

I am in touch with the developers on a daily basis and am working to get rid of 
all the bugs.

Stay safe

Stus-List New List

[garrywx]

Wow, I finally found it. I stopped getting emails some time ago. Subscribed 
again to no avail. 

Went to the photoalbum.com, no help there. 

cnc-list.com takes you to a page with a header Affinity where you can click on 
1 of 2 links.  

The real meat is at this convoluted url 
https://cnc-list.com/empathy/list/cnc-list.cnc-list.com where it says EMPATHY 
at the top of the page. Too get there from the above you have to find the three 
dots and click, then view archives. 

So I signed up and am typing this post. 

Stu. Suggest you update the photoalbum with a proper link. 

I look forward to seeing if this shows up in my inbox. 

On a positive note, we can search directly on the website, and the list 
subjects are summarized on the main page. 

On a boat topic, my 35 MKii is on the hard at WYC, Lake Ontario, all wrapped up 
for the winter. 

Regards to all.

What Ron said.  Sounds like he did the windows on his 38 the same way I did 
them on my 34.  The increased ventilation alone (especially when it’s hot down 
below) is worth the cost of the project.

Ray,  I replaced the ports on my 77 38MKII about 15 years ago.  I used the 
Lewmar opening ports that come with sturdy frames and an inside cover that 
blends well with the interior.  You also get a set of screens that fit, 
although we’ve never used them.  On the 38, I was surprised at how close the 
Lewmar ports were to the original openings in the cabin. I think we only 
removed less than a ¼” all around.  If you do it this way, remember to fill the 
gap between the outer and inner fiberglass with an epoxy paste and smooth it 
off .  I don’t remember what the original install cost for parts, but this past 
year, I replaced them again since the windows do get glazed over time and while 
you can replace the plexiglass alone, I decided to remove the frames and redo 
the whole project again.  Today’s cost for 5 Lewmar opening windows is in the 
$1400 range.  

 

The decision to replace the frames and all was also due to the fact that 
sealant ages and while I didn’t have any leaks, removing the Plexiglas was 
going to deform the frames so I decided on the full replacement.

 

You’ll never be sorry after doing this project………having fresh air ventilating 
the interior whenever you want it is just great.  

 

I am never successful in uploading pictures to this list, but if you want to 
see how it looks finished, let me know and I’ll send a couple by email.

 

Best,

Ron C.

A friend of mine purchased replacement custom windows and frames for his C 36 
from Bomar.  On my 1978 C 34 (which had the older style oval frames), I 
replaced the four cabin windows with Lewmar opening ports.  The most difficult 
aspect of the installation was sufficiently “flattening” the curved deck 
surface.  Non-opening ports are more forgiving on slightly curved surfaces.

Hello:

 

Instead of replacing the Plexi Glass tradition windows, I am looking to replace 
my windows aluminum frames.   Has anyone do this and if so what windows were 
they and if you could provide details on how you did it.

 

Thanks,

Ray,
I did this in May and sent the note below.  Went really well I can share pics 
too and more details if you need them.

Steve,
I'm in the process of doing this now without the metal frames that Leaky 
Windows provides.  I'm having two cut from 1/4 inch acrylic plexiglass grey 
2064 tint at a local  glass shop in CT for a total of $500.  I'm going to affix 
it with 3M vhb tape and seal it with the Dow corning 795 black silicone.  The 
tricky part is getting the old brown adhesive off the gel coat. It looks like 
it's going to pull up some of the gelcoat so there will be some needed repair.
Here is a good life link to the process.https://youtu.be/MQyjxVUskd8
