Re: Changing boat name
Dee and martin are fine. We spent 6 lovely summer weeks with them on the River Severn and Sharpness canal. Their new 570 has sufferd no mishap being renamed however we do make sure that luck is with us each weekend with copious amounts of Tesco cava.. 
There is NOTHING--absolutely nothing--half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.

Re: Changing boat name
We are still here.... hovering in the background!!! Unfortunately OAP parents suffering with a smashed hip and another with shingles rather took up a lot of our time in the spring/early summer... 
.... not to mention the refurb of our 570 which took up the remaining time after which we spent every possible minute on the said 570 enjoying her... hence the lack of postings!!!! I have taken full pictures of the stripping out of the 570 which wasn't altogether intentional 
but we rather got carried away and ended up with more of the interior on the drive than on the boat!! I will be posting details of our refurb and the progress so far which is about 75% complete, but as we all know the boat is no good on the drive working on her, when you can be using her on the water!!! As far as changing the name goes .... Golden Days 535 was a super little boat and was only parted with when we decided that we needed a bit more space (2 adults, 1 Labrador sometimes 2 Labradors!!!), the 570 has also been called Golden Days and only after the decision was made did we see that another name had previously been on the boat at some stage with very faint markings showing on the topside bow! But as Sue says we keep the fizz flowing and it seems to work!!! Dee and Martin

Re: Changing boat name
Neily,
Sounds good. Do you a web site or similar where I could see a selection of fonts?

Re: Changing boat name
Unfortunately we don't have a list as such, being in the sign business we literally have thousands to choose from so any you have in your computer we will have! (except Mac fonts)
A good website for free fonts is www.dafont.com but BEWARE you may end up spending hours there going through them and finally selecting for the first one you liked
Alternatively send me your boat name, colour required and font style your after (traditional, modern, etc) and I can put together a nice selection for you.
