Luck?

[Viscount]

I propose replacing the ancient cover on my Sealine with a new one and have sourced a supplier who offers a range of colours (just what I need, choice!) - mine's white (or it used to be). I fancied green but SWMBO heard somewhere that green is back luck - any "truth" in this?

Never heard of green being bad luck, and if it is, then a whole pile of Sea Rays are snookered 'cos green canvasses are one of their favourite options! There's tons of 'em round our harbour!

I heard painting a boat green was bad luck, but I think it looks good. Go for a green cover, doesnt show the muck as bad.

That little nugget of an urban myth stems from the old days of BRG

well, when i was younger my parents had the unfortunate "luck" to buy a green morris marina - very apt now i am a "boaty" person

Anyhoo, it was always bloody knackered, never ran for more than a few miles (or hours - whichever was sooner) before packing up

Cause - I would never touch a "green" mode of transport ever again!

BUT, then again it could be the shoddy build quality, lack of proper maintenance, poor coachworks... the list goes on

Well, Ireland is called the emerald Isle but if your lucky you have the luck of the Irish so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I had a green canopy on a Sealine 290 a number of years ago. It looked awful!! Stick to a nice dark blue.

Have they got it in a Gull Crap and Mould Colour????? If so, I would go for that it will save a lot of work and worry later in the season!!!!!!!!!!!!!
