Stus-List C&C (1990) gelcoat matching

Our 1990 37+ had work done at the repair shop at the Niagara on the Lake Sailing Club before we got her. I'm pretty sure Peter, the fellow who runs the paint shop, may be able to fix you up. I doubt anyone knows more about matching C&C gel coats colors than he does. http://www.petersboatrepai

Right. I have four good hard points in the cockpit. Big padeyes with backing plates, that you can snap onto without thinking. Some people laughed at me for installing them. I use them often enough to be glad. As a single hander, I figure if I go overboard I'm pretty much dead. You wrote:
