Signage went onto the yacht yesterday in metalic charcol vinyl cut lettering.

I had designed the lettering based upon a font I'd found called Cadillac - I then broke it apart, tweaked some letter shapes, stretched the kerning individually, made all letters join together, created a new Cap 'M', and then saved all as an EPS file for the signwriter to cut from directly.


Out of interest, the side graphic is 2000mm long and the rear one about 900mm long (after trimming extra tails of M & e).

We are very happy with the result and are considering adding a Southern Cross to each side in silver and charcoal vinyl.

We've also had the faded and stained toerails painted in just "Killrust Black" paint and it makes a huge difference to the look of the hull. Time will tell if the Kill-Rust paint was the right choice but it is what the mast builder used on our new mast after cold anodising. Fingers crossed!!!
