Pretty cool. Be nice to have as a retirement home.
With a sailboat docking station it would be perfect.

Washing the windows would sure be a pain...

Do you need a six-pak to rent out the rooms?

The underwater ones for sure. I wonder if designers even think of such
things.

I was planning on putting underwater lights on my keel, but not one of
the MFGs wanted to share any information on anti fouling of the lights.
I know glass attracts barnnacles pretty quick, see a 100 bottles
encrusted.

They have snails that breathe underwater. They put them in salt water aquariums and they
crawl around inside and clean up the glass. They work pretty good. :-) Now, how could you keep
them on those under water windows? They might like the hull better.
That makes me think of something. One of those rude *down under* people made fun of me
for saying "windows in the hull". Are those windows in that habitat hull? If they ain't windows
what are they?

The designer calls them "Acrylic View Ports".

For this kind of money, I'd rather buy a brand new
carbon fiber Gunboat 62.

Thanks, Joe. I guess instead of saying Bavaria 37's have windows in the hull
I'll have to say they have acrylic view ports in the hull. Either way it's stupid to
have them where you don't need them.

Most Sailors call them port holes if they open, ports if they do not.

Did you know the 35s5 has a 4" port in the hull? It don't open and
provides next to no illumination. What's that all about?

Maybe its the bung hole where they injected the polyethylene to make the hull?
