Help - curved windshield fabricator (SoCal)

A friend broke a forward windshield which is curved tempered glass. Any leads on glass fabricators who can recreate? Bit of a nightmare.

Boat is an Ocean Yachts motor yacht. Are they still on business? Any leads to vonysct them directly? Not sure of age, but it's about 45-foot long.

Thanks in advance.

Peter

There is a supplier that always advertises in Professional Boat Builder also you could make one from Lexan as I did on my Willard.

Thanks - Professaional Boatbuilder has an advertiser's directory. Looks like this is it:

You might also try Taylormade. They make curved windshields and do replacement work but it may be only for their windshields.

Yes, that is one of them. I contacted them about glass for the Seeker but too expensive for me and decided to make my own from Lexan B/c stronger. However you can't bend MarGard Lexan so if there is a wiper involved, glass is the answer,

This was a several weeks ago so you may have already found an option.
If not, you might try calling this company. Most stuff is commercial and residential but they do have a sophisticated tempered and bent glass manufacturing capability. The owner is a car nut (think 100+) and might like the challenge.
