Where does everyone get there boat names from? Lots of sites do the lettering but when I search through their galleries for a pic, there isn't much choice Alex

Any decent sign writer should be able to do it no trouble

Does anyone know where to get signs made up in the material used for sail numbers (effectively self-adhesive spinnaker cloth)?

If you want to really push the boat out you can get some Car paintshops to do custom Graphics and names on boats, for example Master Of Puppets the N12, is amazing!

OK.
Does anyone know where to get signs made up in the material used for sail numbers (looks like self-adhesive spinnaker cloth, even if it's not)?

If you have the ability to do a good vector graphic and produce it in the right format some companies will do a custom vinyl sticker for you. In the past I've taken a standard font, turned it into a vector graphic and then edited it to produce the result I want. Stick to monochrome though!

These guys can do just about anything seemingly. I got my employers logo printed out 3 feet across to go on my mainsail for a regatta once and they have done boat names and grpahics too.
If you can get the files in vector form as other people have mentioned you should be OK.
