I have been seeing alot of discussion on rub rails lately and it has piqued my interest in replacing mine. However, I have the "camel" colored hull and so only the tan will do. (White would be weird and black too showy). Has anyone ordered that color? Is it a true tan?
I ask because my current rub rail is that yellow/gum eraser color and I would hate to order a new one just to find out the tan is actually the same gum eraser color.

My understanding is that for our generation of hulls there were only two colors, the tan and the gray. White would only be for Mark IIs, but I seem to remember they are gray also.
The tan is your gum eraser color. Only tan they made.
We keep ours looking OK by washing and then waxing them with Fleetwax, and they haven't gotten dark.
In this case, I'd call the factory and confirm.

Another great Mainsheet topic, one that gets talked about a lot, but never published as a 'how to' up to now. Snap some pictures, explain how to do it, help your fellow C34 skippers out. We're always looking for good material.
