Right? Wrong? Indifferent? I don't know - there are so many opinions. But for the use I intend for this boat, I believe that they will do quite well.
I would class those by their small size as being fixed portlights rather than windows - one can check any hatch supplier's web site eg Lewmar, to see what I mean between windows and portlights (maybe that is where some others have been confused?). Given their small size (small height), meaning little opportunity for flexing, I doubt that you would have much problem with them from that (as another has said).

My personal choice would have been acrylic though .
