The first choice we had to make was to decide on the colour of our 'cove line and boot tops' - these are the lines that on the hull just above the water line and down the side; the go faster stripes. Oyster standard is navy blue, however we wanted something different and so decided on grey, dark grey but trying to find the right shade was quite a dilemma. Some greys are green grey - yuck, others are too pale. At one point we walked every jetty at Fremantle Sailing Club looking for boats with lines in a grey we liked. In the end we short listed to 3 RAL colours and Oyster made sample panels in gelcoat over fibreglass and shipped them to us so we could see exactly how it would look. We finally decided on RAL7024....
I really hope we will be better at making decisions as this process goes on as that decision took two months.
