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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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! 😁
👍👌👏 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.
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
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.
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. ⛵️
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.
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.😁
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.
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! 🤷♂️
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.
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! :))
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 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.
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!
Navy blue hull, red below, white with varnished teak uppers, white waterline, bronze and brass where found. Green? - every day is Try to Justify Green Day, you know, I Really Like Green, I Really Do Li.... Good luck with the project.
Haha, yeah, i was justifying it hey! :)) Blue was certainly a consideration and would have looked great, i think she'll be staying Green now though, at least for this season. Cheers!
Baloney to green being unlucky! Utter poppycock. Mind you, the red anti foul is degeulas! Disgusting. What a fantastic remake of a derelict boat well done, sir! Well done 😊
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.
Thanks so much! 🙏
Green is a lovely color! Boat looks fantastic!
Well done! 👏
Nothing wrong about green it's wa you like not others superstition, lovely to see you've rescued her from rotting, well done.
Thank you, and yeah, she was close to being chopped up so the trailer could be used can you believe it! 🤦♂️
I like the Green !with a gold or white waterline !
Cheers! :)
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!
English and their colors, very special. nice to see you bring an old boat back to life again.
Indeed... :) 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.
Life is what you make it , if your looking for trouble you'll find it , if you enjoy the color green use it !
Haha, yeah, very good point! Cheers!
Had lots of good luck in my green boat ! 😊
Glad to hear it! 😁
Boy that yellow undercoat looked nice
Yeah, a few people on the yard said the same... :)
That’s a lovely paint job. Never heard it’s unlucky for a boat to be green. Go with what you want!
Thank you! :)

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! 🙏
Your boat, your choice. Looks like lots of work topsides. Keep going.
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!
Thank you, and for the colour choice! :)
Looks great...keep it green and make the water line cream instead fo white...👍👍👍
looks fine in green
Cheers! 👍
Green looks reallly nice
😀
Thank you very much. Another vote for Green! :))
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 ;)
Green is GREAT!!!!!!!
Cheers! 👍👌
I like the green. Go with it! You are creating good luck by restoring this beautiful boat!
Ah cheers, i'll take that! Appreciated! :)
Lovely job…….LEAVE IT GREEN MAN,!
👍
An amazing transition ,just shows what a bit of elbow grease and a bit off paint can do to resurrect an old boat👍.
Thank you! :)
Cool Boat
Cheers!
I had a green boat - had a fire on board before I got her ! But was a great boat for me !
Ah man, i'm glad it worked out for you though! :) Cheers!
Green looks fine - its your boat so your call 🙂
Cheers! 👍👌
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!

GOLD BOOT STRIPS ! YES !
👍
Green looks good to me.
Cheers! :)
You make your own luck go for it
Keep it green 😊
Cheers! 😁
Its just a color, has nothing to do with luck or bad luck... looks great!
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! 👍
Yes agree Green and Red are fine DIDO!!!
Cheers! :) 👍
Go for the green! My Seafarer Kestrel 23 is Green and I wouldn't change it. (Red bottom paint as well.) Keep up the good work!
Cheers! 👍👌
Green looks lovely!
Cheers, appreciate your opinion/vote! :)
Green is great on a classic !
Cheers!

Green hull love it just add a wide white boot top ( antifoul) above the red antifoul job done terrific tick that box !
Cheers! 👍👌
The green looks good. The owl and the pussycat had a green boat and weren’t bothered about any silly superstitions.
They did not indeed! Good point :)) Cheers!
She is already green..... done!
haha, yep! :))
The green is great! Stick to your intuition! cheers from a Dutchman!

Looks great!

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 :) )
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! :)
Don't worry . The colour is fantastic. I love it.
Cheers! :)
Please leave the green! It's beautiful and unique.
Cheers! :)

That's a great point you make. It's funny now this "green' thing turned up how many boats and ships i notice that are Green! There it is.... Cheers!
I like her green. Looks great
Thank you!
Good choice of music on these first videos. ❤
Thank you, appreciated! :)
I love the Green think it looks amazing
Thank you :)
Green looks great. But just to put it out there, I’m a sucker for a dark blue hull
Yeah, i did consider dark Blue - I like that too, and that may well have been a good choice... :)
It looks great
Thanks! :))
I like green as a colour😊
👍
green is fine….don’t let others get into your mind! my granddad had always green sailing boats ;-)
Ah cool, i'm hearing of more and more Green boats! Appreciated, Cheers!

I love the green
Cheers, appreciated!
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!
Definitely cream..! Looks much more elegant …😊
Cheers :) - i think Roger likes the idea of Cream as well.....

thanks

The Green looks fantastic.
Thank you & for the 'vote for Green' :)
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.
Ah brilliant! i'll take that :) Cheers!
LANCIA WON _ALL_ those championships with red/green livery of a similar tone!
I'll take that and tell the ol' boys in the yard, cheers!

nice work :)

green looks good, different. lots of boats out there green. Sailing Emerald Steel channel , they built boat themself and been sailing a long time.

Thanks, and i will keep it for sure 👍 Cheers!
Doing a fine job.. Just subbed... The color is great..... No such thing as luck
Thank you! - and yes, i think you're probably right! :)
I am embarking on a similar project at the moment. Albeit, my boat is only 48 years old. Its going to be interesting seeing how you go about this.
Ah fantastic :), Enjoy, and best of luck!

Haha yeah, that seems to be the general opinion! And a number of people agree with the red being somewhat unsightly lol! Cheers!
Maybe you should invest in a laser cleaner. They're expensive but good for every surface including wood.
