Long Shot

[archie]

Hi

I don't suppose anyone knows how tall the 3, 2, s, & 5 are on the side of a Beneteau First 32s5?

I need to order new graphics and don't live near my boat so any help would be gratefully received.

cheers

Have taken a walk (without tape measure!) around the marina and found one. Have taken a photo which I can text u so that u can confirm it's the right livery. If so can get measurements for you. PM me with your details.
Regards, Mark.

The 3, 2 and 5 are 24cm tall and the s is 10.5cm tall.

Another long shot but I don't suppose anyone knows what the font is?

I have looked through the ones in windows and not found a match and the graphics guy I was going to use cant match it either.

I have attached a scan from the original brochure that shows the font.

cheers

can't give you an answer sorry, but if your up for the trial and error, http://www.funkymonkeyboatnames.co.uk/ allow you to test various font styles. they have a huge selection of options.

The nearest I can find is Hoefler Text but it certainly isn't the same. Why bother though? Nobody will notice.

FWIW I took all such markings off my boat; I prefer to tell harbourmasters my version of length rather than the manufacturers.:ambivalence:

I much prefer the manufacturers' length ...

Most sailors, therefore need two sets of decals. The overstated size for the bar and the undersated size for the harbourmaster :encouragement:
