I originally assumed they opened inwards but then thought I was being a bit dim because if either:
a) hinge is at bottom then window will hold itself open, but as the boat moved might bang againts the cabin side (depending on tumblehome)
b) hinge is at the top so the window always falls open a little bit and is left swinging, and again possibly banging when the boat moves.
c) hinge is at side so window will fall fully open but stick into cabin, meaning (sod's law) you'll hit your head on it.
a) and b) are caused by the tumblehome, but c) will happen on a boat with vertical cabin sides.
Am I just being dim, can't figure it out?
