Colour Choice For Tender

[Lakesailor]

If I was going to flog it, I would just oil the white wood and buff the hull. In such a case time is more expensive than left over paint

I think you are right. Plus I'll do the inside with the grey paint.
There is a floor grating already.

Where did you unearth such absolute moronic twaddle? Is it meant to be funny? It's as superficially-grounded as foul old racist stereotyping. I'm not pointing that at Long Keeler, but however do the authors of such transparent nonsense expect to be received?

Good Lord! You'll be telling us next that Astrology is unreliable.

I thought he was being comedic. I didn't realise he was being serious.

Boat refurbishment

Hi Phil. How many boats is this now that you have owned and done up? You obviously enjoy the cleaning up process so I am sure what you do with the colour will be fine. But what next? good luck olewill

What colour would you get if you just mixed all the paint you have into one blended tinful- might you be able to call it pedant something?

It would probably come out spinnaker coloured, now remind me what colour is that?

If it's anything like the plasticine of my youth it will come out cacky brown.

Maybe not. Unless there is one of them that is predominant in abundance, the colours that you mention should give you a medium blue with a green undertone. A very serene colour. Why don't you try a little mix, roughly in proportion to the quantities of each paint that you already have? Seriously.

i don t think it matters what colour the top sides are but below the water line should always be red----this helps idle bystanders/water watchers to realise that seeing red means the boat is the wrong way up and you need encouragement and possibly help to get ashore----regards lenten

I always think dinghies look good when they've got the waterline painted. Makes them look less 'dumpy'.

Was you called "Cacky" at school?

 

[Lakesailor]

Thankfully, not.

 

[Seajet]

My tenders tend to be dark blue to suit the mothership, but I always paint the bottoms yellow in the hope it will attract attention if I turn the thing over.

Seems to work, as the chum who bought my old tender managed to invert it in quite a wide open bit of the harbour and was rather poorly placed, but a passing dinghy rescue boat saw him & came over.

 

[Chrusty 1]

Thankfully, not.

You would have been if I had been at school with you!

 

[Lakesailor]

Anyway. I've done the inside.

Much better.

I could do the gunwale in green. I've got some green gloss. Or white

Looking tidy Phil

 

[Lakesailor]

I've just got some gelcoat damage near the keel to do, but I've started stripping the (slip-in) floor boards with an eye to re-varnishing them.
I think I may be getting too involved here

Innit always the way though, we all start off with, "I'll just do......." Before you know it, you have done a complete re-fit! Sneaky buggers these boats, and the little uns is the worst!
