Forest Green with Matterhorn White decks. That was were I was going before seeing the current color I have now. After a trip through the boatyard to look a four boats that my painter did, a lighter color was the way to go for me. He pointed out all the problems that cropped up with darker colors over time. Others in this thread have mentioned them. One thing that was intriguing to me was on a Cape Dory Typhoon painted Stars and Stripes Blue, on the sunward side, small hull repair fixes, most like little plugs, were surfacing. Not so much on the other side. Explained to me as the differential in surface heating on the differing underlaying materials causing the repairs to ‘pop’.
The grey'ish hull color that I have now doesn’t show any salt spray, nicks, scratches or dirt at all. Oh, wait. It’s still sitting inside a shed. Never mind…. :-) Best, Dave Godwin 1982 C&C 37 - Ronin Reedville - Chesapeake Bay Ronin’s Overdue Refit <http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/> > On Mar 28, 2016, at 11:08 AM, Dennis C. via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > > Blasphemy!
