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.


And what do you know? Nothing, absolutely nothing. You're almost as
uninformed as mariedj who can't even SPELL Sunbrella and whose major
concern is color. What does that tell you about him/her? Well it tells
me that the concern for color takes priority over everything else. In
other words, appearance over practicality. In other words, priorities
all out of whack. It's not a boat. It's some lamer's idea of a fashion
statement. Probably has a color-matched purse. Probably has
color-matched underwear. And it follows probably has no idea what's
important in a boat and probably thinks only about cosmetics. And that's
what it's going to say to any knowledgeable sailor in any port in the
world. "Hey, look at me! I don't have a clue and I look like it."
