Eggbert paint scheme

Tbh i'd recomend waiting untill you can keep the boat off the water for a few weeks. I took quite a lot of the old paint off the hull before i repainted her and it could be a bit of a 'mare to take it right down to the wood. I think i still ahve the paint so if you want to keep the colour scheme the same i'll bring it to the nats for you

not desparate to change the colour might keep as is just try to lose some weight with the multiple layers of paint removed. will come down to the nationals if only for a couple of days to catch up and have a few bevys problem is i don't work i don't earn so need to work got a mortgage to pay you know! and also really want to do the offshore just so as i can beet the old man he's taking his Solution we might even get all three there would be nice to see some other Cherubs too but as its stright after the Nats. people will still be hungover and fixing things

Ok guys it looks like it's all systems go this weekend for the repairs on the the old beast and seeing as i have to remove a large section of paint from the botttom of the hull and there  also the paint has rubbed off  on the front section of the trolley i wanted so ideas as to colours and or schemes.  Also asome advice as to what paints to use please bear in mind that she is wooden.  I'm going to strip her down to the bare wood and i might redo the varnish if i have time.

Want to get her ready for the Nationals but can't really afford the time off as having become self employed and just had weeks holiday so the aim is for the 28th and the Anglesey off shore dinghy race as it's a bit of an annual day trip for our club.

P.S. need some vectran for trapeze ropes as current is like bungee cord, crew went out on wire and sank straight underwater much to my amesement!
