[C38] New windows?

Sat Mar 4 15:23:55 EST 2006

Are the frames the problem, or the seals?  Catalina Direct 
(www.catalinadirect.com) carries new sealing material.

I don't know a source for the aluminum framing.  However, there is a source 
for smoked lucite to give the boat a more modern appearance.  Someone posted 
it in here some time ago.  Unfortunately my system crashed and I no longer 
have that message archived.
