Didn't you rollup and tip your dark colored hull with AlexSeal or something like that? I guess that is what I need to do, but I should probably wait a few more years until the gelcoat actually needs it. I just can barely stand owning a white clorox bottle. J boats are the most interesting boats to look at to begin, but the white hull is about as exciting as looking at blank piece of paper. At least Earendil had a big whale/cove (geez, I've forgotten what it is called!) stripe.
It's nice to be back in the land of boats.
Hope things are well with you.
