    carlos,

    Do you want them to be opening, if not there is no problem, it is an alloy boat, so make the frames out of alloy plate, cut out to suit.

    The glass can be set inside the cabin by making internal framing and Sika them in (from the outside).

    carlos, if the boat is a sea boat, the cutout plates can be made into deadlights, that way there is no waste.
