It's cheaper and easier simply to offer white boats as standard. Carvel boats are supposedly less subject to opening up when painted white, but I doubt this is the fact at higher latitudes anyway. Lots of of working boats were black.<br /><br />Used carefully, the black paint is good for the boat. The low winter sun warms the hull and helps keep the boat dry. In summer, it is only on the lower topsides at each end of the day. A boat with a lot of tumble home could easily get too hot in a sunny climate, however.

I am not sure how "white goods" mentality even made it into yacht production, and it was amazing to find many fishing harbours were overun with colour.<br /> I did find a black hull to get warm,maybe not such a problem on plywood as it was on ferrocement.

The memory of colourful fishing boats is one of the reasons I wanted to use bright colours myself. It would have been nice to be able to paint pretty pictures of flowers, or birds, or something, but sadly, it don't have those skills. For sure, there will be plenty to sail about if and when the boat finally floats!Annie Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839484196732830052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28092890.post-32586276450803254682020-10-09T17:07:33.959+13:002020-10-09T17:07:33.959+13:00I have watched you building your boat with great a...I have watched you building your boat with great admiration for your project.

As I have no pretensions towards building a yacht, I am happy to look towards the workboats of S Europe and China for my colours and inspiration. However, it is rather amusing to see people's responses!Annie Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839484196732830052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28092890.post-15745850263951407202020-10-04T18:32:13.679+13:002020-10-04T18:32:13.679+13:00Well done Annie - she looks fantastic!
