I'm not sure that Black was ever a great and popular color for boats though. Especially on the decks.......

I don't think that was the intent of the expression. I think it was a weak literary allusion to the "X is the new black" expression/cliché.
I don't think black is being suggested as a default boat color. It was just cutesy writing.

Probably a good thing he doesn't follow these threads after he posts the link to somewhere else.

 

[Ratickle]

Of course he follows. He just has no snappy comebacks for our outstanding commentary!!

At least he knows we are reading them.

Maybe Matt was probably watching one of the red carpet shows when he thought of the title. This does look pretty good for not being a little black dress.
