Richard,
A few things about Flag Blue hulls;
I always smile when I look back when leaving CorsairA big part of the Flag Blue
appeal for me is combining it with the white bottom, white waterline stripes,
the white deck, white spars and dark blue canvas. Not my doing... the PO put
it all together. Thank you PO. (yes the white bottom is a PIA. Still worth
it).
Never noticed it being hotter, but then we we are in New England...Yep...need
to rinse hull occasionally, but looks fine on the mooring 10'+ out. If I was
on a dock I would rinse every day. I am not so I don't and its OK.
Yep scratches show more. Oh well.
We plan to repaint again in Flag Blue.There is some print-thru (you really have
to look for it) that the second coat of Awl-grip, I am told, will take care
of.Did I already say that when I look back I always smile when leaving Corsair?
No logic about it. But since when does logic and sailboats co-exist?

Dave's post reminded me...I am going to be in a situation where most or all of
my hull may need repainting; (blemishes on hull from dock piling); so I began
looking at other boats for ideas; I have always been enamored with the dark
hulls, especially the Flag Blue ones like Dave Risch's boat; however, I have
been warned by the local "experts" that they are difficult to maintain and show
scratches way more than the lighter colors; also , that they are hotter in the
summer...; so my question to those of you with darker hulls...how much of the
above is true? Would you go back with a darker color if you had the chance?
Any other factors I am missing? Many thanks as always....

Same here. Never had a need to change.
