I am attempting to seal the fixed aluminum-framed windows used on Hull #236 and have found reusing the existing gaskets leads to leaking windows, due to the fact that the old gaskets have shrunk.
Does anyone know where we can obtain replacement gaskets for these windows, or purchase replacement gasket material by the foot?
These windows are the original fixed aluminum-framed windows supplied with the boat by Yankee Yachts in 1971.

If you are talking about the gasket between the glass and aluminum, I would bed a bead of 100%silicone in the frame and seat the glass into it, let it cure, and then use a razor blade to trim any excess off.

Silicone has very good holding properties to glass and aluminum.
