Just an innocent question from a boat designer's point of view:

Why are heavily framed thick glass ports in the hull side, which can be
fitted with deadlight covers, bad while those gigantic superstructure
windows are OK?

They did not line them up on the hull and it looks crappy for one
thing. Also they will be submerged if it ever sails creating drag,
leaks, rust. If the frames are cheap plastic then they will be torn
off docking, or fall apart due to UV breakdown.

She looks to have a high freeboard and the above "gigantic " windows
will not be submerged often, and they may have back bracing and you
can make storm shields easy enough that can be easily applied.

IMO it's one of the nicer looking Bruce Roberts hull with a faired
rolled hull, it's a shame someone botched her up.
