Green looks very fitting for the graceful lines of your hull. If you like it that’s all that matters. Don’t let silly superstitions cloud your judgement. You really are an inspiration, keep up the good work and thanks for the videos.
The great question is the price "sine die ". What it could be after all this work, exchange of parts for new ones, etc...etc...? At the end it could be less expensive to buy one, less old, in a better state. The question is open ? Of course it's a question. I presume you have studed it, with the pleasure of working on your own boat.❤😅😅😅😂😂🎉 Anyway, congratulations. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Green was supposed to be unlucky because a long time ago, drinkable water was stocked in barrels painted in green The green paint contained plumb which poisoned the crew. So green is supposed to be unlucky. Another idea is that clergymen were poisoned for a boat. The reason why is that the crew didn't want them to report what they did in other ports whith attractive women.
Beautiful job. I like the green. I had a 27’ sail boat and painted the topside the same green, with a shark white antifouling bottom and bright white water line. The decks and cabin top were painted bright white too. I recommend keeping the green but when you repaint the bottom try the shark white.
hello matey ,I bought an Elizabethan 29 from a place on the deben and the first time we, me and a friend ,took her out it was up the Stour about as far as you could go at low water , we took to walking thro' the corn fields , this was a lovely summers day , and came out on a road opposite a pub called the 3 brothers I think ,great Sunday roast , what a fabulous day. My mate knows the stour well because he was at Shotley and believe it or not was a button boy ! he remembers rowing the boat in the morning with the coxain bellowing and I believe they learnt to sail it as well about your boat ,I would love to be younger ,I would do what you are doing and get a good wooden boat , great job you are doing
Ah man, great story! That does sound a day to remember - Simple and unexpected are very often the best, and most memorable :) Yes, the Stour is a beautiful river, particularly on a lovely summers day! - And yes, i am loving what i'm doing, restoring a wooden boat - it's a real pleasure. Can't wait until i'm sailing her along the Stour! Cheers :))
The Quartermaster* Great job bringing her back to life! I'm for cream. More traditional and nautical. Either way, she'll look great when she's back in the water! Keep the videos coming!
Boat looks fabulous. & I have not heard of any green superstitions in all my travels. & have seen many beautiful boats with green livery. Nice work and love to see any old boat getting TLC and being restored
I owned a 62 Pearson Ariel that I restored and I painted its hull above the water line in that blue color that Ted Turner used on one of his boats that won a big race a few years back. It was gorgeous and one of the prettiest sailboats I've ever seen. You'd have to check...it was a light blue I seem to remember with a little green in it....I'm colorblind so I can't tell but it should be easy to find. Beautiful job by the way.
You're obviously a bloody good amatuer or a tradesman painter you did exactly what I would have done she looks good a credit to ya cheers n beers Marty Australia nice to see someone cutting in
Ah cheers Marty Australia appreciate the compliment! :) Yeah, i'm a tradesman painter so done a fair bit of that 'cutting in' ! Thanks noticing though! 😁
Don’t repaint her! Leave the green this year, and another coat or two and if you still think it needs changing do that next winter! She looks great, a real turn around, just get the boat in the water!
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! What a great colour you have chosen. I love nearly anything that is green and this special colour (between frog, apple and grass green) looks simply amazing on a boat. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.
@@savingsusanna You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Thanks for replying and especially for giving a heart to my comment. I totally appreciate both very much. Sincerely yours.
Good to save a beautiful boat ,thanks for sharing. Greetings from beautiful tropical paradise island Kauai, Hawaii. I am hopping for you guys works well bring a classic design sailnoat. ⛵️
I had a Marcon Mouldings Javelin 30 in the 1990s, it was in a beautiful dark green gelcoat finish. Never had any "bad luck" that I can remember with that. Hope you stick with the green.
This is great! One video I've seen where you are talking about what is needed to be done and with what materials. Rather than talking about yourself or your wife and why you're doing this...like so many other videos (mostly American). So thanks!
Really nice project. Nice to see how the refurbishment is progressing. Well captured on video too. Only don't make the boat green, that brings bad luck. My compliments.
There seems to be an anti Green color in Britain, British Racing Green is frowned upon because a racer (forgot his name) had a horrific accident while driving a car with that color...SUPERSTICIOUS ?
I think the green works. Maybe a white pin stripe to compliment and complete it. Symbolic it will also break the green (and hopefully the myth) as well. Good luck.
I thought green being an unlucky colour for a boat was very widely known, but in my view complete bunkum ! I’m not at all superstitious : if you like it green, keep it green - I just don’t think green ever suits the lines of an elegant yacht. That said, I’m thoroughly enjoying your videos while working on my 1959 Folkboat, conventionally white over blue 👍
Ah thank you! - And yes, once i'd heard it said to me i'd assumed it would be commonly know. From the comments appears not to be so! Appreciate your opinion and all the best with your Folkboat!
Yes, a few people said that - even in the yard when i painted her. I'll probably change the colour to cream next year as she gets very hot being green - and also hard to see her! Cheers!
Green is beautiful on boats I live near the Gozzard factory many of their custom yachts are done in green and looks fabulous! One of the famous C&C racers was named Evergreen with a beautiful green hull! Your green hull is a winner!!!!!
Ah brilliant! Thank you very much. I had a look at 'evergreen' and she looks great. I love the late 70's early 80's orange stripe along her! :) Cheers!
I haven’t skipped ahead. But iv never given much credence to old sailors curses 😂 like green boats, bananas, or changing the name. The green is really nice & with the teak, it will give it a classic look.
Take my hat off to all your hard work. I did think green was considered unlucky for a boat but my father had a Robert Clark boat called Robin, (red). The only other boat built to that design was Gleam, (green) so perhaps its an old wifes tail.
The boat you got you're inspiration from was British racing green, the pea green you used just isn't right, it reminds me of the nursary rhyme, both the green and red are far too dark for such a small boat.. However, the yellow undercoat you used looked surprisingly good though..
Yeah, a couple of the guys on the yard said the same thing about the undercoat. And yes, you are also right about the inspiration colour being a British Racing Green, I tried something by adding yellow which, yeah, not convinced worked! I'll be looking at it.... Cheers!
Of course green is ok, plus she looks fantastic. As for bad luck, ignore this old sailors tale. Our Sydney Harbour ferries are all green and cream since the late 1800's and have millions of safe kilometres travelled.
I think the colour green being unlucky for boats is an old belief. As I understand it old mariners thought the colour green related to mould which would destroy their ships. The other belief was that green, being the colour of the land , was the fear of running aground. If you’re not superstitious paint it the colour you like.😁
Once I started working with one colegue, he said that green cars are always breaking by laughing at me that I have one. Sold my green one, bought brown and cant say that it needs less work :D Try erasing this saying of your head and do what ever is beautiful to you. Green/brown wood remainds me racing car with a wooden steering wheel. Nice.
Ah, there you go! , and yes - i'd heard that about cars as well. It's all nonsense but i must say i seem to be subconsciously always keeping an eye out for other Green boats lol! 🤷♂️
To be honest I don’t like the color, but if you like it Rock it!! You should do what you like 🤟 it’s your boat and you should be proud of your hard work 🥰 greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
When I worked overhauling yachts, we used paint rollers instead of paint brushes.. Rollers saved us sooo muh time and energy. The reason why people started saying Green is an unlucky colour goes back to fast water boating when the water turned green. Boats with a green hull would not be so easy to see. You are in open waters. Green is no more unlucky than blue or grey or beige. Its all down to cultural history and people's paranoias at the time. Keep the Green! Many thousands of boats have this colour and it suits them!
Yes, i wanted the 'traditional' brushed look - i did pretty quickly get the roller out in the end though! - and layed off (tipped) with a brush. As you say, sooo much quicker! And thanks for the comment on the Green - that's interesting! Cheers!
Cheers Dan! - I've also got a bus that needs painting, and i've gotten (most) of the welding done... That'll have to wait until next year (poor ol' girl!) - although i can use her so it's fine, just not very stylish! 😂 . Good luck with yours, i absolutely love going camping in her! :))
You’re doing a fantastic job! 👍 I don’t like the green myself but it’s not my boat so it doesn’t matter 😂 I’m not one for superstitions but my parents are and are very superstitious about green for some reason? Supposedly brings bad luck.

Love the green, and you doing a super work , she is going to look beautiful in the water . And with the white sails and wood work . What a difference
Thank you! 🙏
If I weren’t 70 years old and land locked this is just the kind of project I would enjoy
Ah cheers, I really am enjoying the project. I think turning 50 put a bit of a fire under me to get into the things i'd been thinking about!
The great question is the price "sine die ". What it could be after all this work, exchange of parts for new ones, etc...etc...?

Your boat, your choice. Looks like lots of work topsides. Keep going.
Cheers!
I like the green. I finished a boat I built in British racing green and never had an issue with 'bad luck'....its your boat, go with what you like!
Appreciated, cheers! 👍
Green was an excellent choice for classic boat. Gold boot strip would complement it nicely.
Thank you. Another comment suggested a gold boot stripe too, i hadn't thought of it but i reckon it would look good.... Cheers!
A black stripe would also look nice
or even a white stripe, but definately a stripe of something.
That’s a lovely paint job. Never heard it’s unlucky for a boat to be green. Go with what you want!
Thank you! :)

Cheers! 👍👌
Boat looks fabulous. & I have not heard of any green superstitions in all my travels. & have seen many beautiful boats with green livery. Nice work and love to see any old boat getting TLC and being restored
Thank you, and for the 'Green' comment, appreciated... Cheers!
I’ve also heard that green cars are supposed to be unlucky. Told by someone when I had just got my new green metallic gen 1 VW Golf.
Nice timing lol! Must be ok though, being a Mk1 shows it's survived better than most! (Nice car btw :) )
I painted one of my earlier yachts green, very similar to the hue which you ha chosen, and it worked just fine.😊
Ah grand good to know :)) Cheers! - Sorry for the delay in replying to your comments!

I think the green is magnificent! Have never heard that green is bad luck. Bah, looks good. Subscribed!
Like others have said, let her be green for the first run, then decide later, based on what you want...
Thank you, for both the "green' comment and the sub, Cheers!
Looks great!
Cheers!
I love the Green think it looks amazing
Thank you :)
The color is perfect. Nice job!
Thank you! :)
Seen many green hulls and sailed one. Green unlucky is an old Scots tradition, so I am told. It looks good. Phil, Suffolk.👍🇬🇧
That's interesting i'd not heard that... Cheers! :)
Green is great on a classic !

Don’t repaint her! Leave the green this year, and another coat or two and if you still think it needs changing do that next winter! She looks great, a real turn around, just get the boat in the water!
Yeah, sage advice...Get her in the water & change next year if needed...Cheers, appreciated advice!
It’s your boat, so choose your own colour ! Either way it’s another protective layer ;)
Simply jet washing the teak will bring out the lovely colour, just a bit of light sanding and done ;)
Stick with the green! Looks fantastic!
Cheers!
I like her green. Looks great
Thank you!
Green looks great. I'd have it on my boat
Appreciated, Cheers!
Don't worry . The colour is fantastic. I love it.

Watching Sailing Yaba, here they say green in Brazil is the colour of hope. We think she looks gorgeous. Add a solid white boot line to add some zing.

An amazing transition ,just shows what a bit of elbow grease and a bit off paint can do to resurrect an old boat👍.
