Since I've bought my Bavaria Cruiser 41, build in 2018, I always have to problem of condensing water on the cabin windows. That itself is not the real problem, but water ,,storing" behind the inside window frame. When it is full, water poures out and is running above the wood beyond it.

Does it make sense to may drill a small hole in the lowest part of the plastic frame, so water drops down directly on the working plate of the galley?

Hi Gilster,

We have the same type of boat and I am not having this issue (berthed in The Netherlands)
I think I don't need to explain why condensation is formed on the inside. I would try to counteract by more ventilation, searching for leakages (do you get water in the central bilge?) and use a de-humidifier. In the end, a very moist interior is not well for your health as it stimulates growth of all kinds of fungus. This rather than drilling holes for better drainage..
