[Public-list] Gold Stripe

[John Birch]

We took our stripe off intending to paint one on - but liked the look so 
well without the stripe, just leaving the moulded line with the same gelcoat 
colour as the rest of the hull, that we left it alone. The shadow that is 
cast keeps the intent and contrast and was a lot easier - not repainting.

Cheers,

John
