S2 7.9 Meter Class Association

Can anyone confirm if the boot stripe is painted or gelcoat?
Mine is navy blue and faded and I'd like to polish it. Any advice?
The inlaid S2 7.9 logo is also a bit stained. Any advice on brining back the white gelcoat colour within the logo?
Thanks!

Hi Sam, it is the 6HP I was referring to.

3.5 kts at low rpm. 5 to 6 with higher throttle. This in under 2 ft waves.

1/2" round should work just fine. I'll check tonight and report back.

My wife and I went through this a month ago. What worked for us was running paracord up the mast and pulling the 3/8 halyard down. The paracord was stitched to the last 3" of the halyard, low profile and flexible, and it was snug but easier to jam the end over the sheave. This was on the old st...

Can someone share the specs or basic design for a support under the middle of the mast at the mast step for trailering?
Is this support recommended / needed? I'm assuming it is. This will be my first road trip!

Thank you!
