Window template

[Pauliemv]

Hi all,
Cape Dory 28 trawler owner here with Hull #001 with a question…
Does anyone have any idea if there are templates available to have new windows manufactured?
Any replies can be sent to my email address which is pauliemv@comcast.net
Thanks!

If existing windows are still intact and templates are not otherwise available, an identical currently installed window could be removed and used to make a template. I did that successfully many years ago, making a port-side window from a starboard-side existing window, by reversing the glass to make the template. It may be your only option in this case.



Good luck with this.

Have you tried the owner's association?

There is a powerboat section.

I don't know anything about the cape dory, specifically. But, on a lot of boats one can remove the trim ring or clamp ring on the inside and trace the template from there.
