We used (2) Glidden products. Gripper Primer & Porch & Floor oil/alkyd polyurethane gloss paint for the hull. They local big box store can mix any color but the lime green on our boat is called Pucker Up.

I will check with John.

I know the kids chose the colour.

Among many other things, I dig the hull color. May I ask what brand paint / color code you used? Or was it custom mixed?

thanks-

Hi Adam,

Sorry about the slow reply.

The standard sail is a balance lug and it has several advantages over standard gaff rigs, particularly performance. Around the 1900s it was generally preferred for small racing boats than the gaff. Later it evolved into the Gunter lug which went efficiently through to the second world war for recreational racing in many parts of the world.

The standard single sail boat is faster to rig on the beach and derig after. So it makes a lot of sense for a sail after work or where you don’t want to fuss around much. If cruising there are advantages to the yawl rig in terms of boat handling and being able to reef while sailing.

However the Yawl Goats that have been built so far have had the two mast positions for the mainmast, so you can choose single or two sails when you actually get down to the beach.

Best wishes
