I replaced the lens on my front hatch and my windows on a 1978 34. The
hatch was Atkins and Hoyle. The parts are really expensive so do what you
can to use the existing hatch frame and its parts. For this job, I ordered
a piece of plexi of the same thickness, had it cut to size, then took it to
a local shop that replaces auto windows. I told them to use the same
sealant they use for cars. They did a fine job -- no leaks. I also
replaced the gasket material, which you should be able to find on-line. My
windows were the old style C&C oval windows, which I replaced with Lewmar
opening ports. Great upgrade. I think 1979 was the year C&C started using
"go fast" windows, so you'll want to use the procedure described numerous
times on this list. I used this procedure last year on my 42, and the
windows look brand new with no leaks.

Subject: Stus-List Window/Hatch/Blinds Upgrades
Hello,
I have a 1979 C&C 34. It’s time to upgrade my windows, forward hatch,
companionway hatch and blinds. The windows and hatches are leaking and have
crazing. The blinds are worn and outdated. Any leads/advice is much
appreciated.
Thanks
