Quoting Brian Zinser <bzinser at lssu.edu>:


Brian,
      On Full Measure, hull 292, 1968, I have opening ports on the port side
berth and head only. I've examined some of the options but I can't justify
purchasing 4
new ports to gain 2. It would be nice to get the cross breeze though. Any
available originals out there?

                                                                    Dave
