need new Window and railings, suggestions?

PacificMist

Good Afternoon.

I need to replace

1.the entire Starboard sliding window on my 22' cruiser---who will make?

2. wooden top handle---can not seem to find one long enough, am willing to go to metal

3. the bow railing---I will likely have one made locally (Anchorage, AK) but am wondering if it can be bought built

Please offer direction, out short season is approaching.
thank you.

The window was made by Diamond Sea Glaze (not cheap). They should have an exact replacement. There is another outfit which makes similar windows. That most likely will not be exactly the same.

You can buy a 1" thick piece of teak, and cut it your self, with a saber saw or bandsaw. (That used to be cheap--no longer. Any good railing maker can make SS railings with the same hole spacing as your wooden rails. The current factory railing may not have the same hole pattern.

Same for railings. Best to have someone locally make it, that way it will match the holes in your boat. I have had custom rails done, and usually the last little tweaks are done with the railing on the boat, so it fits exactly.

That railing tube is available by the foot @ Alaska steel on dowling down by the rr tracks. Kachemak gear shed in Homer has the Teak hand hold / rail. Call & talk to Diamond sea glaze, Good People!!
Have a good one!!

I like the idea of replacing with metal but I bought these to replace my original teak handles, perfect dimensions for my old Angler. They make them with more or less loops:

If you get current details on windows please post - I am also looking to replace my side windows.
