At last I have my trawler!

40 years and 10 boats later, we FINALLY have purchased our first trawler.
My wife loves her because she is very slow...8 knots and I love her because, well, she's a trawler after all. Lots of cabin space with plenty of classic teak to keep clean

We have just purchased a 1982 Island Gypsy, 32 foot trawler. Named her
"Dot Calm", not Dot Com, and she sits at our dock behind our home on North Hutchinson Island, FL.

We brought her across the state last week from Pine Island, FL, through the Okeechobee Waterway, and up the Inter coastal waterway to our canal. A very beautiful trip across Lake O.

I would like to meet and chat with other Island Gypsy owners.

I am already faces with a dilemma. There is interior water damage on the port and starboard windows due to wood rot on the windows.

I would really like some ideas on how to change out the old wood windows on this model. I am not much of a handy man and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to enjoying this forum!
