After many months agonizing over hull color, we went to the New England Boat
show and fell in love with stars and stripes blue. the Painter thought it was
not a great idea because matching color for any repairs is very difficult for
that color but, in the end we just didn't want another color. Again that was
emotional decision making. The boat was black and it was a mess! All the black
had to be stripped off due to poor preparation of the previous paint job. We
also love flag blue boats but, decided to go lighter for all the reasons
mentioned and we love this color as well!! We also like the fact that the
color is not too common yet but, it is becoming ever more popular. She should
have been striped Saturday!!! I can't wait to see her!!!! Danny

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

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.... Richard Richard N. Bush Law Offices
