With the weather finally breaking after an usually harsh winter, tarpaulins are coming off in the boatyard daily. This Shark must be one of the early numbers, its hull is a mottled green with faded pink tones below the gelcoat showing through. These are great sailboats, and are still a popular racing class despite the age of the fleet, many of which date back to the mid 60's. Many of them have been re-gelcoated and look beautiful. I suspect that I will see the owner grinding and sanding the hull as we wait for the ice to blow out and the river to warm up.
