Ha! Should have guessed there may be some less than serious suggestions here! Surprised no-one added "today's guest ale". But thanks for the tips, I will get some suitable lettering made up. Pretty sure I have an unused, very old International Code of Signals cheat sheet somewhere too that could go on too.

Thanks for the compliments too...she won't stand serious scrutiny as I've kinda learnt as I've gone along and it's all just been done in my back garden with a collection of Aldi power tools and some bog. She won't be winning any concourse competitions, however the list of stuff that has been changed at some point is pretty long anyway. Mast, boom, sails, pole, all the fittings, stern deck, side decks, front bulkhead, front section of foredeck, rudder, keel, keelbolts, tiller, tiller extension, brass block, half the ribs, one shroud plate, both gunwales, even the bloomin' name about three times and the colour of course...

Trigger's Broom perhaps...
RS700 GBR922 "Wirespeed"
Fireball GBR14474 "Eleven Parsecs"
Enterprise GBR21970
Bavaria 32 GBR4755L "Adastra"

If the course is big enough then compass bearings, but otherwise I like the shopping list idea!
