if it were on a vertical dog house side ... i think glass would be ok but the angle on a heel almost makes these deck like.

There is a hinckley yawl a couple of slips from me who is replacing his "glass" with 2 out of 8 cracked and a couple of others delaminating [those are in frames]. but then again stuff from those days all seem to have issues.

Nemesis is an up bay boat ... protected water 90% of the time ...

I am wondering if he beveled the edge?
And just what kind of bonding really takes place on polished glass?

some of our crew down here is amazed that we just stick these windows in without screws or frames.
