Any Hallberg-Rassy owner most likely recognizes the challenge ... 'how do I keep the blue band around the outside of the boat in the beautiful blue HR color?'
Especially as the boat gets older and is in the sun a lot, the blue color fades. We ourselves have struggled since 2017 (from 10 years old) to keep the blue band its beautiful blue color. Polishing twice a year certainly helps. But soon after that, fading spots appear. Very irritating, because the blue tire is a real eye-catcher as far as we are concerned.
So more is needed. Many boat owners choose to have the tire repainted. Others choose a blue wrap in the right blue HR color..
