Has anybody ever heard of using insulated glass units on a boat?
They could be an advantage on some of the more glass intensive Bolger
designs. Instead of being manufactured with glass on both sides of
the insulated units, Lexan or laminated glass could be substituted on
the outside. Simple Plexiglass could probably be used on the inside.
They could be set in place within recesses in a cabin side and then
sealed/glued in place with automotive urethane window sealant.
