Guy,

I have a teak frame which was original with 1/4 inch lexan screwed to the 
frame. Pls note this frame was lost on the highway when transporting the 
Alberg to the yard for her launch, the hatch in place was fabricated over a 
weekend in my shop and installed at the mooring. So it can be done.

The A30 is all laid up for the winter and now is the time to
start on a few winter projects. The first one I'm considering is 
to install a window (maybe window isn't the right nautical term 
here) in the hatch cover above the v-berth. 
I don't want to install a new modern hatch and ruin the beautiful 
& traditional look of the A30. The hatch cover on my A30 has, 
where it seems a window would fit in nicely, an area that is 
finished in chopped-strand mat (CSM) fibreglass of a beige color 
without any gelcoat over it. 
Were all A30s built like this or was it optional to have a window 
installed there ?
My initial plan is to cut that CSM portion out and install an
acrylic or lexan window.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has undertaken such a 
job and how you went about it.

I'd also like to know if this was available from the factory and if so, 
how did they go about installing it ? Is there a metal trim ring 
around the window, on the inside and outside ? How is the window
held in place ?

Cheers.
