I wanted to ask the group about the small head windows = I've seen in just a very few of the Frers 33's. Has anyone = installed a window or were the windows I see already built = in.
Specifically the boats I've seen with this small window = were Star Gazer and Brilliant so if either of you folks = have any info on how that window got there, and = also if you've had any problems with it.
Thanks,

We have new members to our fleet.
Jonathan & Kim Morse purchased ALMA from John Ricci and renamed her "September". Welcome!
The crew of Eclipse recently spotted another Frers 33 racing. It turns out to be Stargazer - not Nancy Ogden's Star*Gazer, but instead this one belongs to Adam Frawley. This Stargazer is x-Midnight Run #39. Adam recently purchased the boat and is building a crew, hoping to join use next year in Newport. Adam, welcome to the fleet!
Frank Albert now has a page of photos for Relentless - #33, check it out!
