Trying to decide on the porthole size and placement…
- I’m mostly concerned with aesthetics – are they in proportion to the size of the boat and cabin? Are they the right height and location fore and aft?
- Relative strength is not a concern – these are very heavy ports
- Larger ones will make the cabin brighter and add more ventilation, but also make it less private, and the opening parts will be heavier and more obtrusive over the bed
- Pictures of a bunch of tugboats with round portholes, for comparison
Five-Inch Portholes
Eight-Inch Portholes
I think they’re placed a little too high in this picture.
