[C320-list] Free old-style Lewmar opening portlights, standard, size 1

[P.F. Ross]

Thanks to all who showed interest in my old portlights.  I think I have
contacted those people directly and am still working my way down the list
and will let you individually know what I have left very soon.

I did get a couple of requests for a link to the portlights that I found at
less than $200.  I hope posting this link does not break any list rules,
and know that I have no connection with Defender.  Also know that in order
to get the under $200 price, you need to join their $50 "Defender 1st" club
and so you will need to decide if that is right for you:

I chose the white frame.
