That's excellent trivia I didn't know, Connie. I thought it was an unintentional result from whatever tannic preservative they used to belay the mold, mildew and rot of their cotton sails. --Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: <chbenneck@juno.com> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2004 11:30 AM Subject: reefing point? Hi Craig, Just as a point of interest, tanbark colored sails were that color for a reason. White sails are hard on the eyes if you are a fisherman out there 10 hours a day, day in day out, working. So the solution was kill the glare of the white sails with the tan color. Easier on the eyes.................. Connie
