Any tips on the best place to source sail numbers and the class logos?

Also what is the best way to remove the existing, incorrect, numbers on the sail?

Cheers

Any Sail maker should be able to make numbers and logos or try the online chandleries

If your numbers are on a Mylar sail they'll peel straight off.

If on Dacron then it's messy and time conssuming. Acetone or Petrol gets the adhesive off.

.......as for the removal of sail numbers etc, I've Just removed some nasty duct tape from a Laser sail - see the link to a previous thread:

Numbers and logs sourced from the very helpful Guildford Marine.

Glue from old numbers removed with some white spirit and elbow grease. Nail polish remover didn't touch it.
