Dear Friends:

Which boat colors are the most visible, night and day?

Has the US Coast Guard or someone else done tests?

Matt, when I was in your store you pointed at a blue boat, saying that it
had been determined that that type of blue was the most visible.  What
type of blue was it?

Does a white hull make a kayak less or more visible?

And finally, is my favorite color, British Racing Green, a visible color?

And yes, I am close to purchasing my first kayak, an NDK Romany Explorer!

Thanks!

Josh
