they no longer make them so the old one(s) would have to be used as molds to make new ones. There is a well know place in Norwalk Connecticut called "Select Plastics" and they do this type of work along with hatches and portlights.

Corner windows...?
Actually they didn´t survive at all. Both the corner windows broke in pieces, but the mid-section is OK. (the piece to open up). The long window on port side is also good. But all the others is gone..... I have "dismantled" everything, and delivered them to a glasscompany here in Norway. It will be expencive, but what the heck. Just hope the insurance will cover it. There was several boats in the area around mine who was destroyed. Amongst them a nice old sailer, a wooden sailer. The snow was top-heavy, and tilted the boat over. All supporters on the starboard side was pressed trough the hull. A terrible mess.

PK: You have my deepest sympathy for having to live in the conditions you describe. I'm afraid that unless voters wise up in this country, it will not be long before we are suffering just as you are!!

And they all talk about climat crises, global warming and a complete meltdown of the glasiers on both north- and southpole. Ha! Up my..... We havn´t had such a cold or snowy winter in Norway for the last four decades. Maybe it´s the result from Copenhagen conference...? Anyway; today I will be onboard my Trojan, try to fix and repair things. I will take som pics, and maybe put out here on the forum, just for fun.

I have removed the windscreen, and cleaned the sill from silicone. It looks pretty clean, huh?

An unusual sight. This is from underneath the toilet bowl, a place just a few people have seen. I had to use my minicamera to locate where the tubes and stuff are.

At last the bowl is removed. I don´t understand why things have to be made so tight, so narrow....... It was almost impossible to get in there with my arms.

Did that mini cam loosen those clamps as well?

Are they floating docks ?

No. My camera is not that well trained. But with help from a wrench and some swearing (*@#§@*!!!) I´d made it at last.

With the bowl removed I found this broken hose. Not funny with all this water underneath the floor.....
Paul: Yea, those things are floating. They can carry more than 6 tons each element. Just take some elements and clip them together, add some meters with electric powercable and waterline, and "VOILA" we have another new marina. Nice and easy. I do not think your marinas looks strange, sometimes I wish we could have something like your marinas here. With roofs and grand parking lots....

Too much!!!! I have to pay almost $4000 for the period between April and November. After the 15th of November and first of April we are not allowed to uset the docks, due to ice and snow. Then we take the boats up on dry land.

I check on it over the weekend at the local marina its not bad at all. $240.00 a month plus 35 for electric and water. You can live on it if you want. They do have dry storage for $190.00 per month if you call hour before you want to get on the boat they will drop it in the water at a slip. You return the boat to that slip and they will take it back out the water for you and wash the bottom of the boat put it back up for you. Sounds like a hell of a deal to me.
