Hi yes there will be a porthole on each side but I could not decide on which one yet.

There is one on the roof of the cabin that will let through light and can be opened fully.

I like the shape of the front one but it may be too big. I would only have one, we put the other shapes up for reference.

I agree, the forward one is the best. Nice shape but a little smaller and yes, only one.
A porthole will not only give light but break that surface, it will look better.
If somebody builds without a porthole, I recommend to paint a thick stripe. The CX19 has a lot of freeboard and we must break that big surface either with a porthole or a line.

The fit out will be next and just finalizing the details of what is going in first to be able to get on the water. What a journey but it has turned amazing so far.

Wow, what a "schmick" looking boat!

It fascinates me what man builds. Not being sexist - I know some women build stuff too, but building "stuff" seems to mostly be a male thing. Just look at the gender balance of who posts here!

Congratulations!
