The installation of the Tides mast track requires a new sail cover to be made due to the significant height difference of the flaked sail . The old cover was pretty worn out anyway .
I’m playing around with color choices in photoshop by recoloring a photo of the temporary cover color using HSV values from sunbrella swatches .
It’s not easy to match the hull - lighting and materials are different, but so far the darker blues are a possibility ( see photos attached ). The wacky "purple" is not a serious choice. I just threw that one in.
Another option is to go with a contrasting color like light silver . I’m wondering if darker colors may hold up better ? But perhaps they trap more heat ? Does anyone have any Interesting color combinations on their boat ?
I have also asked the cover maker for an estimate to stencil the Ericson “Viking” logo on the side (s) . Do we have graphics available? I’m not sure about this one , but pondering it .
Edit: I was able to find one logo .jpg here:
