FWIW I've always liked pale blue for N12's, seems to work really well, but at the extreme end, I've seen a bike air-brushed with the white horses from the Guine$$ adverts, over a black background, now that looked amazing but probably v.costly on something as big as a dinghy!

This is Texas Flood with my son 'helming' and on the right. Not the best photo, sorry. Although it was clear coat carbon, with lime green. It had a sort of grey green look to the carbon areas that look very good.


I always thought that was kevlar in the hull that gave the grey/green look?

You could call it 'fish ears' like those Merlins have.

Cadburys Dairy Milk Purple.  Best colour going for a boat.  My Daughters Grad will be as close as i can get to this colour shortly!
