[C38] New windows?

Mon Mar 6 16:12:02 EST 2006

Hi, Glenn,
    This is the place.  Those windows look really good on the 38.  I have 
seen a boat with them installed.  I wish I had found that before Nancy and I 
spent all that time redoing JACE's old aluminum framed windows.

Regards,
Les H

PS.  Found that Xylene will readily clean those old white lifelines.  No 
matter how badly gunked up.
    Use in a very well ventilated environment, wipe down about 18" at a time 
and rub it off.
