    shemaron looks good, be great to see it varnished again but its not possible , when we worked on the favorite on tyneside two years ago the bow area looked so good when the old paint was removed we thought it might be possible but as we moved back we realised it would be impossible to get any kind of finish , so got to decide on what colour to repaint Shemaron now , blue but perhaps a shade or two darker than it was

    Go on Chris get the belt sander out and varnish her!!! I would go for darker blue, varnished bulwarks or all dark blue or even" Evelyn green " when she first came to TT. Don't forget the white tyre bow fenders!

    As I recall dark green was the favoured colour for ringers when changed from varnish.  But I know you are not a fan of green and I can't convince you. May be up in TT at weekend so I'll try to convince over a drink.

    This is getting serious Chris! No pressure but we will all be watching with interest when choice has been made! The Village Belle 111 looked good blue when first painted.

    picked up a green boat on sat , worried that it had sprung a plank , but it was OK it was below the waterline so it  didn't show

    i she was lovely right enough granted but a different hull,possibly a plank higher all round.what about burning and staining her on her gunnuls and a darker blue for the rest of her hull
