I have developed a new product which I hope to launch this upcoming winter
It´s a sun pad size 200x70cm that you put on the foredeck of the boat which becomes a very comfortable sunbed/lounger and there is nothing like this out there today
You can also attach a drink holder to it :)
The sun pad is easily and quickly attached and removed to the boat and it suits mostly motorboats size 26-45
Now I wonder what colors people prefer
For Sweden where I live and the Nordic I would say navy blue, grey and beige/tan
When testing it out during my winter stay in Florida I quickly learned that they had a total different whishes of colors
Most people said tropical colors like, turquoise, yellow, pink, red etc
On a trip to Barcelona a few weeks ago I spoke to a lot of boating peolpe
Most of the people said 70s colors like orange, green, brown and some purple
Navy blue becomes to hot i Florida so that wont work in the Med either

So please write what colors you think would work well. Also write where you live and where you go boating
Please also ask you wifes and girlfriends :)

Happy boating to you all
 
Florida boaters have no sense of colour co-ordination, I should know, I have a Florida built boat. Med boaters demand white, with gold embroidery edging, oh and it must be covered in Sunbrella. Nothing else will do. We in the Welsh Med have no concept of what a sunbed is and they stayed stowed. So it must be mould proof. Colour? Anything that will catch the sun's rays and warm up quickly. A built in leccy blanket will make it sell like hot cakes. Hope this helps

Note sure about the colour but something inoffensive. Not grey. Not brown. Cream and blue stripes perhaps. Possibly two of those you describe would fit on my flybridge deck. But the fordeck pads would require a bespoke shape.
They may be rarely used but the chief officer likes them ... UK use.
