Does anyone know where i could get a cabin window for my 1972 Norman 23
I cant seem to add a picture of it, but its the one on the front of the bow to let light into the seating bed part of the cabin.
hope that makes sence
Thanks
Stuart

You are probably looking at refurbing it rather than replacing as it won't be an easy thing to find.

If you have no ali frame you could use rubber straight into the hull as a cheap and easily obtainable alternative to a framed one, glaze it with polycarbonate and job done, a lot of the earlier normans had all (except sliders)done like this, easy to fit with a glazing tool and seals direct do a nbas discount.

This is the sort of stuff you want.

Measure the thickness of the grp and the glass and work out which is closest, the glazing tool makes it much easier to bet the spreader strip it, cut slightly longer than needed so the join is under a bit of compression and have the join at the bottom.
sealsdirect will send samples if asked.
