I would rather have this all-white scheme, with the windows showing against the hull. The boat looks more Euro-style, and would be easier for maintenance as well, with no black gelcoat to show chalky.

I agree, I think I like the removal of the black stripping better. It does look more Euro-styled. White sail cover finishes it well.

I really like this white euro style. I assume that it was painted. Anyone know what he used to get it to this point?

His old post reply was that he took it to an automobile paint shop, they matched the paint to the existing Mac white, and sprayed it on. I am not sure how much over-painting they did on the white. The color match involved adding some red to the base white, IIRC.
