Don't know where they came from, but they wouldn't be the first. They could have just painted an old set of EPOs red with rattle-can paint. Back in the '70s, you could buy fiberglass ones in a dozen different colors. On the 16 and 14, you can make your own as long as they're the same outline profile and fit the thickness / weight restrictions in the class rules. Brazilians used to make wooden ones that were like furniture. |

I want them before Madge gets them Not to worry Tom,pretty sure Steve won't be sending me anything real soon.(I have been a good foot soildier and not mentioned the "Worl.....s, word at all lately.) Maybe I will just have to paint mine Poka Dot (green ,red,blue and yellow) then get a custom Sail colour to match.Might not win me any races but it would be high on the cool factor |

One of the Waves down at MWE had RED EPO rudders. Pretty cool looking for sure. |

Foils can be made in all sorts of colours depending on your choice. You will of course have to pay extra to make them. In India we have a completely brown rudder - mad of wood and fiberglass. |

I've been thinking about doing mine a different color when I refinish some old EPOs. Can I refinish them with the standard West Systems with graphite powder and then spray paint the finished product? |

There's some threads about this on the forums. That's what I was going off of. I was wondering if anyone had done any colors other than black or white with the spray paint. I would think that paint chips would show the black underneath. |

I saw some photos from the US Sailing Multihull Championships in Sausalito, CA, last week, and noticed that HCANA president Pat Porter's boat was sporting red EPOs. I couldn't download the photo, but here's a link to it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ussailing/ ... 411886112/. Check out #108000. |
