I've a '98 311. The red beneteau graphics towards the bow and coachroof have faded and I'd like to replace them. I've heard that the beneteau spares are only sold in complete boat sets which is overkill for my needs. I did once come across information on a company that produced replacement logos but can't find it now that I want it!

Thanks in advance for any help.

This might or might not be a help. We have a 311 and recently had to replace a small section of the go faster stripes - in our case yellow and reddy/brown. Beneteua quoted £150 ish for the full set of graphics. Managed to track down a supplier of the 'MacTac' stripes and got 25m for about £14 most of which was postage. I can supply the contact details for the company and aprt numbers for these tapes, if this is of use but I believe they don't do the logos. Anyway- to finally get to the point,....... in my research, I also saw reference to a company somewhere in the Southhampton area that did 'copies' on a previous post. A search under - 'go faster stripes' or 'decorative tape' or 'striping' similar might just throw up your answer.
 
I'd think that almost any sign company would copy a beny logo for you. They must be able to get something off the net that they can scan in, as from memory it's all solid colour...no grading etc.
So getting it done should be no problem.
What price tho'... that's the question.
You might find at the end of the day there's naff all cost difference between a custom made jobby and a set of graphics from Beneteau
 
I have the same problem on my 2000 311, plus the "Oceanis" decal on the port quarter got trashed in the mini hurricane we had in Plymouth over the winter. I've found a supplier who can do the Beneteau sticker and I have also created new Oceanis 311 artwork and he's producing them for me. Will let you know how it goes.
 
In case its of any use to others, I came across a gent called Mike Paling via ebay by chance when looking for boat-bit-bargains! He created a set of replacement graphics for the bow and the coachroof (both side with Logo and seahorse) with a perfect colour match to the Beneteau original. Got the sizes bang on, cost less than £15 for the lot and took payment via paypal and delivered in 24 hours. Outstanding, I'd highly recommend.

He can be reached via mikepaling@madasafish.com

Hi ... yes I am able to supply Beneteau Logos to order - both the new style logo and the older version. I am also able to "work up" other logos if supplied with accurate info - for example I have been able to produce a perfect match for the "Oceanis 321" logo after somebody sent me a paper rubbing directly off his damaged logo.
I am more than happy to help - just drop me a line.
