A window of that area in 1/4 lexan look woefully under strength. When a
big wave hits it will pop out. You need storm shutters...


Might look that way from the outside but not the inside. Steel D beam
makes the big window actually 2 windows from the inside, you just
can't see that from the outside because of the dark lexan. I do have
shields for the front windows.

My cat's flip alol the time. They've never need a carne to right them as
they do it themselves.

Don't take her into the ocean. Those huge 'windows' won't make it.

To late, RedCloud made it across the Atlantic 3 times, And thats when
the windows were glass. Now they are 1/4 inch lexan.

Dont take that dangerious Cat of yours to far from a crane. YOU WILL
NEED IT WHEN YOU FLIP OVER.

What's a few best liveaboard sailing vessels, under 55 feet and under 300K on
the used market?

I would build a steel hull like this one:

Sleeps six, but perfect for 2 to live on. Strong enough that even you
will feel safe out in the deep water. Long cruising range, room for a
party in the cockpit and you all stay dry. Small enough to single
hand, yet large enough to be comfortable.

You can also buy some nice kits from Bruce Roberts.

Here in the marina is a sweet 62 foot aluminum ketch, But it's 335K.
