Decals for Dufour Classic 30

[Spirit (of Glenans)]

My boat came to me without any Dufour decals and I am now in the process of a cosmetic upgrade.
Would anyone on here be able to supply me with good photos of the decals, or a good beam-on photo of a Classic 30, particularly the the actual decal saying "Classic 30"?
Also, the proprietor of the leading UK marine graphics company is on an extended holiday, can anyone recommend an alternative supplier?

Have you tried to buy one from Dufor? When I did the graphics on my yacht I eventually got a friend of a friend to do it and it turned out fine. But initially I had a UK firm who has an eBay outlet and they seemed very professional and knew exactly what a boaty would want. I'll see if I can give you the link.

As far as scrolls were concerned they had plenty but there are also plenty on eBay and you can get them in many colors.

I have been trying to find the link to one of the UK suppliers of vinyl boat lettering who impressed me but haven't at this stage. But they all work in a similar manner here is how an Australian online supplier operate (I'm not necessarily recommending this crowd,)

I told the guy that did my artwork I wanted to follow the artwork on Galatea and he did a great job (including the scroll) But there any amount of scrolls on line anyway



This should give you a pretty good idea

Thanks, Coopec, that's a good image of the logo and lettering and interestingly your photo of a C30 has thrown up a stripe I wasn't aware of before, along the coamings and sides of the coachroof.
Yes there are plenty of sources of boatnames, stripes and scrolls but the only one I can find who will replicate the originals is on an extended holiday
I hadn't thought of trying Dufour themselves, I'll email their Irish agent.

That must be the crowd Spirit of Glenans has in mind!

Thanks all. I now have enough images to brief a decals supplier.
