G'Day, In Australia, paddling an olive green Klepper ten to fourteen hours a week in salt water, I began to see fading after 6 months and significant fading after 2 years. As mentioned before "Fabricguard" is supposed to help slow the colour change. I think it has worked on my boat although I like the look of a somewhat faded olive green Klepper! The fading doesn't seem to indicate reduced strength. A friend says he doesn't want to use the Fabricguard yet on his red Klepper until it's faded a bit and looks the part.
