one thought

are there window materials that are less reflective for those sunny days?

Since this request from EU meeting is without details I would think the biggest issue is the blind spot created with the rigs bent out and sails low on mast. The forward visibility for skipper is very obstructed down low and in way of tack area of sail. I have attached PDF diagram demonstrating a window area of aprox. 1325in^2 or 8555 CM^2. I also have a added that window area reach within a minimum of 20 cm from luff of sail and must be located inside a min 40 cm radius of tack I would think , (not knowing the limitations of window materials) that a maximum size should be as suggested min 1200 in^2 Max 1500 in^2 this could be an issue on the larger size window proposal 9.25.20

I agree with Paul’s opinion. but to add that I was always in the mindset that the hullside profile interpretation was intended to the top.

since interpretation was not specific regarding upper and lower . I think is should be all inclusive upper and lower

Should we allow this we create potential issue(s) such as, further difficult measuring the infamous seatback issue ie: seat back angle measure from what a curved surface? I hope I have success uploading a drawing showing the extreme situation of a recessed plank it clearly demonstrates the issue we will be presented with

i think it should not be allowed

I do applaud to whom ever raised the question regard plank recess as we can see if question arrive prior to construction much confusion could be avoided.
