Re: Strip: Impact of Color on Kayak Performance
In Response To: Re: Strip: Impact of Color on Kayak Performance (fadedred)
Althought this thread is humorous, in commercial glass kayaks, different gelcoat colors can affect the boat weight.
Matt Broze mentioned to me that there can be a difference of a few pounds if a color that 'hides' well is chosen.
For instance, grey covers better than white, and red needs extra thickness compared to some other colors.
In a lighter vein, if you choose a flashy scheme for your kayak, you'd better be able to paddle (reasonably) well, or you might look a bit silly. :-)
