Eta Beta

It almost sounds like you are speaking from experience. LOL

Carl is right, the senior group is growing. The Baby Boomer generation is maturing and will be thinning out sooner rather than later. Then it is the next generations time to take over.

The ads do target specific groups. Hollywood has a way of brain washing us. Here in the US they have been preparing us for a female President with some of the TV shows and movies. Unfortunately, they have not realized that we are not listening to them.

It's already one year Eta Beta is in the Shipyard for refurbishing:
Time flies!

That's pretty slick brother. I am setting my bathroom up in the same area. I'm glad to see yours to get a general idea on how it will look.

The 30 fb has the bathroom up against the front window. You have to see how the shower water doesn't spill into the cabin. If you don't care about the shower then it is simpler.

Door's edge Yannis, is designed 10cm higher than head's floor and door will have a rubber trim

Francesco, I'm talking about the seals at the front and side windows.
And whether the front ledge has (or doesn't have) the correct slope to send water back into the bathroom as opposed to sideways into the cabin...
You know, all these boat related headaches!!

Francesco,

Go to my old thread "B28-Shower creation process"

Toward the end you'll see pics of how I made my door so that water doesn't seep out, and after 10 plus years it still doesn't.
Look at the lip of the frame where the door sits in.
Also the door itself has an added triangular piece of wood across its lowermost point, so as to send all water inward into the shower floor.

You may not have to have a 10cm vertical at the entrance floor...just these 3cm suffice.

If you mean these (red arrows)

there will be a soft seal against front and side windows

Yannis · Post by **Yannis** » Dec 22nd, '24, 13:41

Perfect!

Do you plan to seal the door somehow the same way?

PS You will need some kind of curtains too…

Holy cr@p! Superteck! I'm in the middle ages...

But what about the boat's windows, I mean the side and the curved plus front?
Can you apply this technology there too?

If you're willing to pay a ridiculous amount of money, there's a proper LCD technology, UV resistant; if you're comfortable with something that is worth the project, ensuring your privacy when using head, just adding some curtain on front windows, that would be best compromise to my opinion.
I can't even figure out how much could cost a curved stratified tempered glass, with a LCD film in between!

Yannis · Post by **Yannis** » Dec 23rd, '24, 23:53

I don’t want to know either!!

I’d put a curtain of my choice and finish with it all.
The front one might need clip buttons at the bottom to accommodate for the slope.

Looking good going to a beaut when she is done.

Things are moving ahead:
Slowly, but moving.
Stratified tempered 9,52mm glasses

Love the hatch and the progress - Window frames look great too

Tony Meola · Post by **Tony Meola** » Mar 30th, '25, 20:31

That is pretty slick. They did a great job on the windows.

Yannis · Post by **Yannis** » Apr 4th, '25, 01:26

Francesco,

When you will insert these new windows into their frame, do you plan to leave a gap all around within the frame - probably filled in with silicone, or similar - so as to allow for heat expansion AND any downward pressure from the flybridge above?

franzmerenda · Post by **franzmerenda** » Apr 6th, '25, 04:00

Yannis,

The windows measures have been calculated by the same Guys who engineered the frames.
I've been more than lucky to run into this team of people who are digital-scanning experts and that are working for 20 years now with Benetti Group, more specifically, with their Windows & Frames Department.

Windows' size has been calculated to seal them to frames, with an exact tolerance to allow glass expansion/shrink depending on temperatures.
That's also why glasses are made of 2 laminated 4mm sheets, with a Butyryl Film in between them and silk-screen printed all around, to hiding sealant adhesive underneath

So, the answer is yes.

Why do I understand that the more words you use in your reply, the more expensive these windows become! LOL.
