Sadly I have found wood rot in a window frame - the large triangular one forward on the port side - if it was a car it would be the equivalent of the quarter vent or between the A and B pillar.
Before I tackle this type of problem I like to visualise what the process will be, for those members who have done such a repair, have you any detailed photos you could share?
I am curious about the frame - it is faired really neatly into the side of the coach house - so neatly that its almost as if there is a fibreglass glass moulding that is part of the side of the coach house and the frame attaches to this. All windows on our boat are like this. After scraping some paint I can see that there are screws that hold the outer frame to the coach house.
Any help would be appreciated, esp close up photos as I assume most windows of the era would be built the same way.
Cheers
