I tried to avoid going into too much detail in my earlier post, hoping that the word "ordinary" would exclude the exceptions. The hull has to be made up of...
Every so often I see references to "Wiley" windows. I can even recall seeing pictures of them, but I have no idea where to find them. Does anyone have a...
Gary, these are not a make of window, but a style, just as there is a Dorade ventilator. They might have been invented by Ralph Wiley. I'll try and describe...
Now I find that interesting. This is the window I put into my Hawkeye. i never had a name for it. It does keep the rain out. I'm sure my windows were fairly...
The ones I've seen pictures of are much smaller and the triangular frame at each side is almost the full height of the window opening; but the idea's the same....
Howard (and others), Thanks for the tips and the pics. After reading your descriptions and looking at Bob C.'s windows, I thought that maybe I had seen in one...

I like the look of them all. C2 is the one that appeals to me most but, if I were building one, I'd probably go for the original Dorado design: less weight and...
... Spectorado is the one I like the best. I am sure you are correct about building the original Dorado. I am not sure where this will go but I think I will...
... Max, I'm in for purchase of such plans. It won't affect my intention to build a short sequence of boats to build the skills. I'd be happy to pay for the...
... I like Spectorado best not just because of the shape but also because it appears to make the most sense on the Dorado hull. I was thinking the sheer line...
... You're kind. Actually the cabin is modeled after a Spectra Daycruiser. I have loved the look since I first saw one many years ago. I think I will pursue...
... MAX, I too am interested. I have talked to SA at Bolger & Friends about a modification of TOPAZ (I'd like a TOPAZ with a sqare stern and transom, but it...
It seems a lot of people, including myself, have been looking for power cruisers in the 20' to 26' range. Some are looking for planing boats and some are...

Don, My intent is to contribute to variety in the discussion of boat designs. I recognize that many people like the Michalak and Bolger designs. I have a...
