Thanks to all,

The toe rail doesn't look as nice today as it did yesterday morning, we had the mast up and were talking the slack out of the shouds, when the wife spun the headstay turnbuckle the wrong way (a few explicitives left her mouth and we all took cover). . . TIMBER!!

Bent up the mast track a bit and gashed up the toe rail, supprisingly no damage to the spreaders or any thing else.

Congratulatuions on the launch, Absum is looking terrific... but OUCH!!!

Hopefully, you'll be able to swiftly get things back in order... and won't have to file for divorce. ;-)

ArielHull97,

Why Matterhorn White? I am planning on doing my decks. I have a black hull and since there are about 10 shades of white, I am looking for how the subtle differences in white play out. Right now the sail cover, dodger etc are green but I am shifting to a light gray so I am looking for a white on the gray side rather than beige or blue.

Second, did the Matterhorn White give you the color you wanted? It looks beautiful. I am sure you are proud and you should be but if you could start over, would you have used a different Awlgrip white?

Thanks

I chose matterhorn white for it's subtle grey tone, snow white it lean tward the blue, If you get a chance checkout the color card, any place that uses/sells it should have one.

Nope awlgrip Matterhorn White is the color I would use again.

As a side note, if your rolling it, test out the paint w/ the rolling converter and no thinner, see how it layes for you. When we rolled the non skid it's what we used, no thinner, and it layed excellently. Used one of those little short nap hotdog rollers (not the foam) and broadcast the non skid, dont mix it in.

Sorry for the cross post but I wanted to tie up the loose ends of this thread too.
