Rainy day here, woodshop's cluttered with a disassembled bicycle, so no other projects can occur until the parts arrive.
Thinking about having nameboards made for the flybridge. I'd use the same sign maker who router-engraved a piece of Makore for the sailboat's USCG No. (I brought him a full-scale printout and an AutoCAD file.)
Thought I'd put it out to the sages here: Size, size of font, text (other than name, hailing port?), material: varnished Teak ; plastic, location.
The location poses a couple problems. The VHF antenna would have to be moved. The layout of the Europa-style sidedeck handrails and the stuff we carry tends to limit location (kayak and VHF on starboard; bicycles on port). I could relocate/integrate the nav lights if it would seem appropriate.
