Are there colour options, other than 'Vela Grey'?

Its still under trial but other colours may become available. How about stars and stripes?

Maybe the camouflage schemes they have used to make ships seem like they are going the opposite direction, like they used in years gone by? Trouble is, it won't fool radar..

A jolly boat!!!!  How gorgeous!

My parents had J17 but sadly she went to a cousin who parked her under a tree for 15 years, and she did not survive.  I might have a photo of her for next month.

Lovely Jolly boat sails at our club, proper cold moulded varnished wood.  And I remember one at Rock when I was a boy, less pretty blue painted but just so effortlessly quick!

There's a Jollyboat in a front garden in Cowes - in a sad state under a very ripped cover.
