Replacing Port and Fix port windows

Cruising Oracles,

I am looking to replace my fixed and non-fixed port windows on my sailboat. I am thinking of using glass instead of some plastic product that will not yellow or be damaged by UV.

If a non-glass replacement is advised. Can you provide me with the name or trade name of a product I should use.

Thank you in advance

Cheers,

Charles Shelby

If weight isn't an issue, use thick glass. It will last forever and not yellow.
