Stars and Stripes Blue
Hi All,
I saw the discussion of Awlgrip's "Stars and Stripes" blue and noticed that the boat that was hauled immediatly prior to mine on Wednesday was that color. Getting a chance to see it up close has pretty much convinced me to switch out the Flag Blue I have for the Stars and Stripes blue when I paint "Delphinus" later this year. It's somewhat unique and would probably be a little cooler hown here in the south. Here's a picture of the boat I was looking at...

Hi Tim,
Here's a side view if it will help with your identification...
Actually the paint job appears to be the best thing about the boat. I get the feeling that it was just done earlier in the year. It was pretty much perfect from what I could see. That stern photo even looks just like the current Awlgrip ads which show off the miror quality of a good Awlgrip job. The ads that end with "It's gotta be Awlgrip".

The stinkpot crowd has officially taken this ball and ran with it.
I lost track of exactly how many powerboats at the boston boat show had S&Sblue hulls, but it was at least a dozen. Some looked positively ridiculous, I thought, but others wore it well.
If that show was any indication, this color won't be a 'novelty' for long.

Our new boat is Stars & Stripes Blue
We close on her around May 15th! She's a Canadian Sailcraft or CS-36 and was painted with Awlgrip over the winter! I guess I'll have to be the guy to put the first scratch in her. Better me than someone else though. I think I like the green bottom paint better though...

There's a 1960's Hinkley in the marina that the yard has just completely refit including a new paint job, it's a blue but not quite tis blue, I'll grab a pic next time I am down there - looks very nice.
also there is a Shannon 46 being commission right now - beautiful looking boat but it seems to have transulcent star-board type materials atop some of the hatches - looks odd, I'll get pics of this too.
