Hi Ron

How do you think the attached would look as a glass leadlight in the front windows of my boat?

My thoughts were to have the outside portlight made of slightly tinted perspex as would be normal, and then sit this leadlight inside the window frame on the inside.

 

What are your thoughts?

 Regards

 

Alan

Our gold standard for traditional round portlights to this point has been Jay Picotte's Recovery. Here she is with Jay's comments following.

The round portlights were put in by me, in 2005 I think. The original portlights were oversized (about 5"x16"), and they were Plexiglas with black rubber frames. The Plexiglas was so old and crazed I could barely see through them. From the moment I bought the boat I knew I would do this because they were so ugly and big. They drove me crazy. It was a big job that required reglassing both sides of the cabin trunk as well as the front. I decided on the round bronze portlights because I just thought they would look best (still do).
