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.





You really don't want to start following any advice given by Wilbur. He is a
dyed in the wool idiot and well-documented troll. Buy whatever suits your
fancy. It's YOUR boat. FWIW, light colors like "Linen" are perfectly
suitable for your purpose, and are no less "nautical" than blue, green or
red. If it pleases you to make your canvas in pink paisley, it nobody's
business but your own.


Just to clear the air, the traditional color for awnings was always
white.

From the days of sailing ships right up to sometime after ww-II when
the unwashed hordes took up "boating" the traditional awning was
bleached cotton canvas -- white that is.
