Poor choice for a sailboat. Next time stick with traditional colors. Leave the pansy colors for the motor boaters. Wilbur Hubbard 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." Wilbur Hubbard |
