Warrior 40

I have a warrior 40 but my model has no portholes in the hull ? Is this just as they were an extra option or do you think a prev owner blocked them in at some point ? Can’t see any evidence of this ? Any others out there

Lucky you! One less place where the boat can leak

It depends on where you intend to sail - across oceans or just the Med?
I would avoid windows in the hull as the impact of a yacht falling off a very large wave onto its beam is very very severe, and I would not feel that happy with them - understatement!

Sounds like the factory were accommodating of customer preferences, and also sold unfinished hulls:

I was told you could request just about any build scenario from a bare hull to a completed boat. Therefore, lots of variation in specification and finish. I was shown around a 1990's 40 about 18 months ago. It was bought as a hull and completed elsewhere. It was, quite possibly, the best built boat I have ever seen. Very solid with the outstanding teak joinery!
