Paint Customers building their own boats are free to choose the paint system and colour of their choice. Swallow Boats recommend International Yacht Paints and tend to offer this range on boats that we build. You should visit their website, www.yachtpaint.com and follow the link to their product guide, and then to "finishes and undercoats". You can then request a brochure on their website which should give you the full range of colour choices. We tend to use their single pack "Toplac" paints but have had good results with their "Brightside" and "Perfection" systems too, which come in a slightly different set of colours. FYI, the paint scheme for the Toplac system is shown below, as the International website is not the easiest to navigate.  The range of colours for Toplac paints. For more information visit the International Yacht Paint website, where you can request a brochure with full colour chart Sail Colours Sails are available in cream or white as standard. Other colours (tan is very popular) are available on request. Sail colour should be specified as early as possible as the sailmakers appreciate advanced warning (so do we!). For comparison, most of the boats on this website have cream sails. Spray Hood Colours The full colour swatch for the acrylic canvas material available for hoods is shown below. Please choose the colour by reading off the number next to it. ; "Spray Hood colours") Choice of material colours for spray hoods Cover Colours We generally advise on off-white for all the boat covers as this keeps the temperature down inside the boat when the sun shines. You can have other colours though - please contact us for more info. Spinnaker Colours Some boats have spinakers, The choices for these can be seen below. ; "Spinnaker COlours") Choice of spinnaker colours |
