LADY ADELAIDE – Changes Her Lipstick
Woody John Dawson sent in the top photo above of the 1922 Dick Lang built 36’ launch – Lady Adelaide. Seems her newish owner has been consulting the paint charts and decided a refresh was called for. Colour is a very personal thing and what colour your chose to paint your boat is your call, and at the end of the day its only paint so easily changed 🙂
Bottom photo was as purchased – lets do something different today and run a poll on what we think is the preferred look 🙂

I prefer the original — that is more or less the way I remember her post 1946, –
it is always nice to keep the overall concept, of the outsides of classic boats, more or less original, if poss., in my view. She may have had brown or varnished tram top, as original, as well as the cabin sides. — KEN R
