[Alberg30] Hull color

[Neal Jackson]

They do scratch white, but our Flag Blue Awlgrip is so hard that the
scratches are not very noticeable.  Maybe I'm not compulsive enough, but I
never have bothered to touch them up.

I surely would not let that stop me.

We are thinking about painting our Alberg 30 flag blue, and when we
questioned a couple of the boat yard maintenance fellows about painting our
white boat (awlgrip) that dark flag blue, "they said nice color but the boat
will always scratch white"

Has anyone found this to be a problem or is it easy to touch up the
scratches as the boat gets the odd bump here and there?

First of all, I'd like to introduce myself and my new purchase.  I'm
Patty Johnson from the Mobile Bay area in Alabama. I don't own a gun,
lol, but I do own an Alberg 30 that I bought in Jan 2003.  Now, about
the darker hull colors I've been seeing, like on "This Old Boat", I was
wondering how that affects the temperature of the interior of the boat.
Does it make it significantly hotter down below or not enough to notice.
Asking this because I would love to paint my hull navy.  It's a drab off
white and gets stained easily from the bay waters.  

I would also like to say how much faster and all around better a boat
the Alberg 30 is compared to my Catalina 27.  I race and win now!
