The old 33-1 oval aluminum windows of that vintage are a close match in size to one of the Lewmar frames (the same one they used on the J 35). I replaced the frames on my ’78 34 (before they went to the go-fast windows), and the look stayed about the same – actually improved in my opinion. However, as I recall the 35 of your vintage has a significantly longer window frame. I’m not sure there’s a close off the shelf replacement. Your plan of working with what you have and improving the seal sounds prudent.
I suggest 4200, not a silicon product, for the frame to deck seal.

I understand I will need new rubber inserts (Catalina direct has been suggested, but not sure if there is a source in Canada?), but is Dow 795 also suitable for the frame to deck seal? I'm thinking I will fill the void between the deck and liner with epoxy, after stuffing a foam gasket around the joint and inward about 3/4" to contain the epoxy, so there is a stiffer surface. From the factory there were wooden shims and a few gobs of epoxy or similar, but most of the void is wide open. I know I could upgrade to newer portlights, or maybe try to go frameless, but want to keep the look of the original if I can make it work well. I was thinking of buffing the frames to a shine, although not sure how long it would last... -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com <mailto:shawngwri...@gmail.com> S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto On Sat, May 16, 2020 at 3:37 PM Peter Cowenhoven via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: Tom, Same concept here and this guy is a professional....I think. https://youtu.be/MQyjxVUskd8 Landfall 35 Westbrook, CT Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android <https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_AndroidEmailSig__AndroidUsers&af_wl=ym&af_sub1=Internal&af_sub2=Global_YGrowth&af_sub3=EmailSignature> On Sat, May 16, 2020 at 6:15 PM, Peter Cowenhoven via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
