So I ordered following .....
Font : Lucida Caligraphy
Name strip is 500mm long
Text in Mid-dark blue
Boat name : SUPERANNE
2 strips are supplied for the ~ 4.99 price + P&P ...
Well ... they look nice .. but are smaller than I expected ... so I may use them as "bow-name" stickers ... and leave the old damaged "Car reg'n number letter" sticker name on asre-end !!

Should have used Boat Names on the IoW. That's what I used for mine and you decide the height of the letters. Probably a bit more expensive though.

The service was good ... sturdy box air-mailed over for £3 ... so stickers weren't creased etc. Font and colour are fine ... They are just smaller than I expected !! When you think 50cm long - you imagine large letters !!  Here is where I am thinking of placing it ... AND you get a glimpse of the WHITE hull and scraped / sanded / stained rubbing strake !! Looking good eh !! |

Less is more...... It looks fine. I was in a bit of a quandry ... when I got the stickers today ... I thought UGH ! How can I put it on the transom ?? Too small. Then I had briefly considered bow - either side ... well once I got home and realised the strake above the teak is wide enough ... Svet and I agreed looks ok there. She reckons little bit more aft ... I reckon a little more fwd to line up with pulpit more .. making it more symetrical ...and giving me an auto line for other side ! Svet also wants me to NOT change the old lettering on transom .. she reckons it's part of SA 's character ............ Yeh Well !! |

Bloody Hell Nigel, it looks fantastic. I must admit I am quite chuffed about it !! .... here's another of the rubbing strake ... which I was dreading job of, but paint prev. guy used and being so weathered and old literally comes off reasonably easy - in fact the mouse sander does a very good job on it ....>  So it's Friday ... and Easter ... official Holiday ... no office today apart from quick visit to pick up any fax's etc. (I'm lucky - I only live 5 mins from it ...) So will be boat-work today ... |
