If the portlight window were of a larger diameter than the porthole, it would merely be forced against the hull by a boarding wave. The plastic window itself is more than strong enough. Regards, -Maxime Or you can fit "storm boards" over the ports in bad weather. The "problem" that most people have with ports is that they leak. I've seen a lot of people cursing and re-bedding their ports. Never saw a guy replacing one that a wave broke :-) Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |
