The reason I chose white is that not many people used a completely white rig at the time. The light doesn't bother me too much but I have been used to white sails in the past. The glare seems no worse than off my white main or jib (I think you have a white main on the 17 but I may be wrong). I do like the white, but at the worlds in Hyeres recently I used my blue kite so I can't really comment about the glare factor. If used solely in the UK is there ever enough sun to worry about? Glare wouldn't be my worry if I were you, I would either be after my favourite colour or the one that looks the best against the rest of the rig. If you think white is good then just go for it, otherwise go for the better colour. With smokey sails I would say either black, white or red. I have not seen purple against smokey yet so I don't want to comment but I don't think yellow will go at all. Edited by Worthy |

What ever you choose don't tell the wife what colour it is!!!!!! Then you can always buy a new one without her knowing.
I'm talking from expeirence and you don't want to go there unless you want 48hrs of the quite treatment. |
