Bill, For a number of years and through several boats, I have obtained my boat graphics from local sign companies. The vinyl graphics for advertising on cars works equally well on boats and is a bit cheaper than custom boat graphics and I am told it is the same material. It seems a bit easier to work with a local shop to get what I want. You can see an example of the graphics I had made for Griselda, my fin keel Montgomery 17 that is currently advertised on www.sailingtexas.com. I just had graphics made for Prudence, my "new to me" Seaward Fox at the local sign shop and they look great too. Why sell my Monty and buy a Fox........ 40 inch draft with Griselda's fin keel vs. 20 inch with the Prudence's wing. I have less than 3 feet of water at my dock right now which is normal in the Fall. And, yes, I do sail year round. I was out in Prudence this afternoon in 15 to 25 mph winds with a reefed main and working jib. 68 degrees which is considered cold for this area. Of course, when it is 100f and 85% humidity in the Summer............. Whitebeard

I know, some of you get to sail most of the year round. Lucky you.
We have a tiller pilot we want to install. Look for a whisker pole at the boat shows. Add some interior shelf/racks on the inside of the main cabin bulkhead for charts and stuff. Refinish the hatch boards and other teak I might take off. Order boat name graphics to put on in the spring.
How about you?
