Sail vessel as floating exhibition

[James]

Hello! What does anyone think about doing something like this to your sail?

Might not stand up

We used to airbrush hangglider sails in the 70's and '80's (why am I still alive?). They would only see the sun during soaring periods for maybe a few hours on end, then get packed away in U.V. protective bags. Might cause a sail exposed to the sun for days at a time to break down a little more quickly. The sail depicted is only a steadying sail anyway.

Specially formulated paint

Good call. It's one thing to paint an old sail for decorative purposes and quite another to turn a seagoing vessel into a windblown gallery! This process has been a long time in the making. Indeed, the first hurdle was finding a paint that would not succumb to the constant marine elements. No such commercial paint exists [for art purposes] so the artists experimented and formulated their own. A seven-year wear test demonstrated very minimal fading.Do you like the work though?

Excellent work

IMHO if the paint fading/ware issue has been resolved and if the work is not priced "too high" (?) I think that you may find a nice sized base of customers...Regards, -Jim-s/v Forever

Hmmm.

I'm a traditionalist. Don't much like it.
