Can anyone recommend a supplier which can create decals for a boat name
to go on a glassfibre hull?

Cheers

I got last set through ebay , can't remember who , but they often have companys in the marine sections

2 x 6 2 high x 1.00 m long £10 inc carriage .

one thing when confirming with any online graphics , make sure you use a jpeg snapshot of font - name you require , they can change from pc to pc and some differing fonts have same name

There are several on-line boat name suppliers. I just used:

terrible company name and ugly website, but the goods are fine. Design your graphics on-line, pay on-line, receive stickers and instructions in a few days.

Alterinitivly try your local graphics/sign shop, they will do exactly the same thing for a slightly cheaper price, plus you can tell them exactly what you want.

I agree. I have used WetNWild in the past with no probs but now use my local sign-makers (cant remember their name but can give directions).

I would recommend Lloyd Turner at his family firm of -

http://www.klsmarine.com/graphics.html - http://www.klsmarine.com/graphics.html

He sails Hurricanes, F18’s, Cruisers etc and therefore knows this market, he has made graphics to go on hulls and sails (clothing as well) and is currently making some for my van. With him you are dealing with just one man not a faceless company, based in Essex he is often travelling around the country to meetings, he has applied the graphics there and then (There may be an extra charge for this, you will have to ask him, as mine was paid over the bar!)
