I never seen a black one.. but I think I like this color better than the natural finish.

I agree with you, very elegant!

Darn beautiful, I want one.

I believe it was Herreshoff who said: "There are only two colors to paint a boat, black or white, and only a fool would paint a boat black."
A traditional saying is that "A fool and his money are soon parted."
Obviously, Herreshoff knew a LOT of people who owned and pampered their boats.

... Oh. Absolutely gorgeous....
