Some epoxies are clearer than others so you could use one of those. Still when I was building the White Pearl the white tinted epoxy was very white. You could always add some white tint to it also. I love the idea of a "white" graphite hull. Too bad I have two Njord's (Bjorn's Black Pearl-esque hull with a higher touring deck. Very pretty boat...) and a S&G Merganzer to build between now and the end of June. None for myself... :( It'll be interesting to see how Pruden's experiment goes. We all know how tough he is on boats!

: interesting. For me, right now, don't have a boat to try it on, sounds
: interesting to me too :)
