As far as I'm concerned, if people want blue lines, matching crew clothes and rarely leave the marina, that's fine by me. I rarely go into marinas so can avoid them and if they stay there then there's more room on the sea for the rest of us!
If anyone, male or female, wants to wear a gingham dress with a matching nick-nack box, that's fine by me. As long as it doesn't become compulsory!
And for the record, I have white, blue, red and green mooring lines. Whatever works and is cheap enough. The boat's blue and cream.

This will probably wind VicS up (sorry Vic /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif ) but I have nice thick black warps for my berth. And I haven't been in a marina where it is so unlit as to cause a hazard tripping on ropes. I also have ex-climbing ropes as lighter weight lines for when I visit somewhere else - some are yellow, some are red and some are pink /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Cor all ropes around here especially mooring ropes turn a very pale pastel in a short time. Must be something to do with sunshine. You might remember ole Sol he mostly hides behind clouds. olewill

I bet they have knick-knack boxes on board that match the curtains and other chintz.

My missus took charge of the upholstery overhaul, and yes we've ended up with matching curtains and "scatter" cushions. Still if it keeps her happy on board then I'm happy. She probably feels the same about our new mainsail.
As for mooring lines, I think different colours would make sense. All ours are various shades of white, and I often wished that the long ones were easier to tell apart from the shorter.

My thoughts precisely - so I've ordered some yellow for the springs to distinquish from the black warps and the white anchor rode. The yellow should clash nicely with the cream deck.
