"SHETLAND" vinyls

[daveflack]

Hi all trust your Summer sailing season has gone well. Not sure if I've asked this question before but here goes, a fellow owner of a 4+2 has asked where did I get my "shetland" hull vinyls from ? (the ones at the stern quarters ). Cheryl @ naughty gull had supplied mine but He'd sent her an email & got no reply I wondered if anybody could suggest an alternative supplier that they've used. cheers all Magic

Summer season, I blinked and missed it!

I guess you're referring to the circa 2000+ decal version. I can't help there unless another 4+2 owner allows me up close to take measurements. If it's the earlier decal that's wanted, I attach files to take to a graphics printer that can print/cut UV resistant vinyl. I re-created the decal myself in Inkscape using Kaufmann Std font, the result is a close match to my boat's decal. The only difference is the ends of the letters are more rounded. I could manually edit the ends but they don't bother me. When I replace my decals, I might try closing up the spaces but it's not a high priority for me.

I purchased the Shetland vinyl decals (pretty long - in blues - I had no problem putting them on) directly from James Reinman in Shetland boats - [email protected]

(not a great picture - everything looking a bit unwashed there!)
