That may re-enforce that fact that my 1982 dart bleu subrella main sail
cover has not faded away yet.
Only the stitches had to be re-done.
For my next boat we have selected a color named "Linen" for the dodger
and bimini.
We hope that the canvass will last several years before replacement.


It'll last but while it lasts it'll also look like something out of a Home
Decorating magazine. Poor choice for a sailboat. Next time stick with
traditional colors. Leave the pansy colors for the motor boaters.

Thanks, I appreciate your comment.
You stated "Poor choice for a sailboat"
Conversely what makes the traditional dart colors a better choice.
