Interesting, David.
I remember an interview with the builder of the grp Nordic Folkboat (‘Folkebådcentralen’). The FB is often fitted with a cockpit tent for use in harbour. The maker refused to make that of any other colour than orange. He described what a gloomy atmosphere the blue or grey cockpit tent would create inside, compared to when sitting in a ‘joyful orange atmosphere’.
I am less convinced that the colour of the sail has quite as much to say, since outdoors, the surroundings will dominate the view.
For my own part I never wear sunglasses, as they do me nothing good. Maybe we should try a pair of orange ‘sunglasses’ for use on rainy days?

PS: Jami, I am sure you will be fine. You have already made two junksails, so you are almost a pro, now
