REL color code for a 2018 manufactured Ovington Solo
I need to gelcoat a chip from the weekend and need to order some Grey gelcoat.
Does any one know the gelcoat REL color reference number
Many thanks

Which Hull Shape?
I'm really enjoying my new (very old) Solo, and I think I'm going to sell my D-Zero and get a newer Solo in the new year.
I'm around 88kg, and sail at Emsworth at the top of Chichester Harbour, which can get choppy and we tack lots to stay in/out of channels. With this in mind, from what I've read I think a Winder Mk 2 or an Ovington/Boon would suit ...... although I'm not 100% sure I understand why! Budget will be around £5k.
Any thoughts?

How much faster is FRP?
At inland club level, my 25 year old Miles is up with the FRP boats and finishing towards the front. Clearly the frp boats are better in waves and being sailed by the fastest sailors are at the front in the bigger events.
On inland water- assuming good sails and settings- how far ahead at the finish will a new frp boat be ahead of well maintained, double floor wood ? assuming the same level helm ? Is a swap justified?
Assuming the owner has a barn and a varnish brush!😂

I suspect Solo " omerta" means I wont get many/any answers😄
The 6000+ mik2 Winder was 30 seconds behind me last night at Blithfield.
Wheres that varnish brush!😉 another season in the antique ( with a new cover)

Hi Gareth, At your weight I'd say the Winder Mk2 is the best bet, based on my harbour experience. Great for tacking up the shore line and lots of very good boats available. M2 or D+ mast with a North, HD, Hyde, Impact or P&B sail and you'll have no excuses for not being on the pace ;-) Of course, all that said, they all go pretty much the same speed. Starts and shifts are the important thing :-)
