2 piece windshield
« on: May 25, 2022, 12:28:48 PM »
I was wondering if anyone has ever built a 2 piece windshield with a divider in the center? All I have seen are 3 piece with 2 center dividers. Maybe this has been addressed in an earlier post, but I couldn't find anything.

Kent Cannon built his boat with a windshield like you are talking about, I thought there was a build thread here but I am not seeing it. Some google pulled this up:

Also, the first(?) GA to be built was built with 2 pane windshield as well, albeit in aluminum instead of plywood composite, circa 2012...
