I'm going to need to replace the windows. They're pretty badly damaged from
prior (to my ownership) damage. The shop is recommending the crystal clear,
but I haven't had a chance to quiz her about why vs. the other.

One in a long list of projects for the off-season here...

I'll probably still do quite a bit of sailing without the dodger while it
gets worked on, as long as the sailing conditions are decent.


I recently visited live aboard friends who built a wrap-around dodger
using Strataglass for their center cockpit, and also rebuilt my dodger
with Strataglass about 5 years ago. I asked why theirs looked "like
new" while mine is rather dingy. His comment was "cleaning every two
weeks." I have to confess that he probably cleans his about 10 (maybe
20) times more often than I clean mine.
