Re: Canopy\'s (not the edible delicassy) & Graphics

Not your neck of woods but Lymington Sail and Tent make great canopies and covers at very reasonably price. Their canapes are lousy, they're more porkpie and marmite sarnies.

Lots of places do graphics on vinyl sheet self adhesives, again there was one in Lymington that was fast and cheap but I would guess your yellow pages has lots - look for van and shopfront graphics firms, not marine. They set up what you want on a puter screen then the machine just cuts it. If you just want a boat name you can diy print off your puter in max graphic size, then print and cit out then trace onto black fablon (burgben knows best suppliers) and cut out

For graphics, Wet & Wild, on the Hamble are good. You can experiment with typefaces etc. on their website <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.wild-graphics.co.uk/index.lasso?ctl=boatnames>here</A>. I'm pretty sure they will also do stripes, match colours and so forth.

Dunno about canopies (but try a search, because there have been previous discussions about this), except to repeat the old chestnut:

"What's the difference between a rich Scotsman, a poor Scotsman and a dead Scotsman?

- A rich Scotsman has a canopy over his head

- A poor Scotsman has a can o' pee under his bed

- and a dead Scotsman cannae pee at all.

Re: Canopy\'s (not the edible delicassy) & Graphics

Any canopy maker will want the boat. They tailor make them. No 2 boats are the same, poppers in slightly different places etc:

Right Stu
Definative answer.....
The canopies for the Zingaro were originally made by 'Flexi Covers' of Poole so with a bit of luck they may still have the patterns Tel: 01202 721309 ask for Maureen

Later however , Fletcher made the canopies in-house.
