Striping... to break or not to break?

Ooh! That Sun Cat looks really nice. Love that green hull with the gold accents. Frisky sure looks happy! Gotta teach myself to download some before and after photos of Pegasus. I'm tempted to paint her entire hull maroon... my son is a auto paint technician - "let's do it, dad!" However, I think I'll leave her white between the maroon accent stripe and the waterline. She needs paint below the waterline... so, maybe a maroon bottom is in her future!

MKBLK,

I appreciate your quote from Randy Pausch.  He was my brother-in-law.  He lived every day to the fullest and continues to be an inspiration.  For those of you who do not know of Randy, google "The Last Lecture" given at Carnigee Mellon.   His actual last lecture was given at UVa titled "Time Management".  He thought that this lecture would be the one to make him famous.  It is also well worth looking up.

Citroen/Dave - I can appreciate your loss. He must have been wonderful to be around. Obviously, I was very much influenced by Professor Pausch's lecture. I attribute my purchase of my CP16 Pegasus to that quote. I am almost 70 years old (young?) and haven't had a sailboat for 15 years since I "retired" my little Snark Sunflower to my wife's herb garden. The Com-Pac is truly a "yacht" in my eyes! I figured that I'd finally better do what I've wanted to do for decades instead of worrying about the cost or what some might say. I guess another great quote would be "Just Do It!" of Nike fame.

Randy Pausch joins my list of people I wish I had been able to meet in person, along with Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, Mike Royko and plenty of others!
