Eyebrow

...Comeon: looks stodgy, doesn't it?

I would say "shippy".
 
Although, I would also add, I would lean towards Bill's oval portals for the big deadlights were I to do it myself... :rolleyes:

I'll leave the Latin quipping for you "high-brow" types...

Vah! Denuone latine loquebar?
Me ineptum.
Interdum modo elabitur.
Navigare necesse est,
nit volumnabilus!

Oval lights under eyebrows for sure.

Actually, after looking at the above 'simulations', round ports look a *lot* better on the Ariel than I thought they would. They look great on the Commander. However, I still personally like that the shape of the OEM Ariel deadlights visually elongate the tall cabin trunk. That's something I am trying to preserve for the look as well as for the amount of light it lets in during the winter months, when I can't get enough daylight it seems.

My "wish for" is the two opening ports the Triton has up on the trunk facing forward, just behind the mast. I'd love to integrate that into my boat...

ut sulum suus own indeed...

Kurt, you are a traditionalist, as defined here!
As a romantic though,  I have an image stuck in the mind of a big swath of morning sun angled across a table with a chart on it and a cup of coffee.  The skipper is planning the next leg of his voyage.  The important thing for me is the amount of sunlight inside the cabin.  Non sum pisces.

BY THE WAY, KURT:  YOUR SIMULATIONS ARE BOSS!

Oh geeze! How about this one? Google rules.
