Hello to all of you
So far - we are having a great summer with fair winds and good racing here
in Montreal and life could not be better.
I am still evaluating the materials for the replacement of the windows and I
am aware of the pro's and cons of Lexan and Plexi. I had also a chat with my
supplier and he suggested to me to take Lexan MR10 with Margard II Coating.
On paper it really looks good. UV protected, abrasion resistant and 15
years warranty against yellowing.
Did anyone make some experience with this material. I would consider (and
was suggested to me) to take 1/4".
