Champagne hull color |
 No Man. |

|||||
Instead of the standard white color of gelcoat (which technically is the best color to use in warm climes as it reflects the sun's rays and doesn't absorb energy due to its high albedo) or the common “Flag Blue” that I had on Zanshin I I saw a picture in the first brochure for the Jeanneau 57 with a hull colored “Champagne” that looked perfect and that was one of the few decisions regarding how to outfit the yacht that I never revisited or revised. The pictures below are from the commissioning process and show the hull first in white and then in the various stages of completion. The paint used is Awlgrip.
