Although the antifouling looks very dark (it's a custom blend of 3 parts Blue to 1 part Black that we've used in the past) experience has shown that it fades to a rich dark blue after being in the water for awhile !

Mahalo as at Thursday 26 August 2010
Although the antifouling looks very dark (it's a custom blend of 3 parts Blue to 1 part Black that we've used in the past) experience has shown that it fades to a rich dark blue after being in the water for awhile !
Getting closer all the time ....
after many miles at sea and pleasure to her former owners, she shed her name on Friday 13th August (thank goodness we're not superstitious ....!) to be reborn as:
Mahalo on Tuesday 17th August when her new name was put on by Russ of Port Signs Nelson who custom designed a font using one we'd found and modified to be a font we felt was casual, relaxed, almost depicting waves with the scrolls at the start and finish.
The colours of Cobalt Blue for the primary colour and Teal for a shadow where vitually the same as we had used on one of our previous yachts FAZE II and closely matched the original pinstriping used by Catalina yachts.
She will also be continuing to carry the South Australian state recreational boat registration numbers SA67S with the Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron Sail Number SA67 which we have held for quite some time now on all of our yachts and which was previously carried with honour by the yacht Youth.
