The only original polycarbonate material on the 320 is the deadlights on
the cabin top.   Polycarbonate is not UV stable.   In the short run it is a
superior material to cast  acrylic.  In the long run, not so much.   If you
are building a fighter jet…sure use polycarbonate but be sure to replace at
the reccomended TBFO.   For a cruising sailboat… stick with the more
affordable, and in the long run stronger cast acrylic.
