Red is ok, but I was hoping for a more 70's theme for a 1972 Nationals winning boat
Psychedelia, Glam Rock, that sort of image.
I'm not thinking of wearing platform sailing boots though!

IIRC typical 70s would have been a single paint colour but something extreme in the way of boat name lettering.bornagainmothie wrote:Red is ok, but I was hoping for a more 70's theme for a 1972 Nationals winning boat
OK she's not a Moth, but the style is much the same...
(There is a strong Moth connection though!)

No problem David, these pics were seriously reduced to fit in the forum limits, let me know which ones you want and I can email the full sizes if you want better quality.Am really keen on following your project - do you mind if I steal one of your pictures
Jim, the Cherub hull shape looks very close to the Stockholm Sprite. My first Oppie was that colour too. I guess it was all down to the limited choice on the International Paints colour chart back then.
What can I do with a name like Dollywagon Pike???

Oh, I should think a very bold font, text slightly condensed, maybe on these lines? Very rounded perhaps?bornagainmothie wrote:What can I do with a name like Dollywagon Pike???

I like that last font, so off to Woolworths to buy some sticky-back plastic
Re: Int Moth K3222 Project
could be a quick trip. Found a nother mothie yesterday. The chap who delivered the Icon confessed to having a scow moth hidden in his shed. What with that and the one up the road I wonder how many more are lurking out there.

We made our own fonts in them days.

The font is called croissant or CroissantD. It came with a Corel installation, but it seems reasonably widely available as freeware.bornagainmothie wrote:I like that last font, so off to Woolworths to buy some sticky-back plastic :D
I italicised it gently and compressed the letter spacing a bit. I think if I were doing it for my boat I might alter the lower stroke of the g to be more like the y, I'm not convinced that g really works very well...
If you like pmail me an email address and I'll send you the below in a vector format.

Good grief Andy... I thought I was bad for keeping stuff. You must have a very organised filing system to be able to lay your hands on that sort of thing, but honestly: if you keep *everything* like that no wonder your house started sliding down the hill [grin].
Did like that lettering for Pxy though, that was such a good looking job...
