What are you going to use to put a rose on your sail? Do they use stickers made
by sign companies or what kind of paint do they use that stays but doesn't hurt
the sail?

Doesnt your boat and you deserve some personality or would you think it
is better to be like a plastic cookie like a Loser *---- most of which
done even have a name.
If Swifts follow the class rules and put a huge logo on their sail
people can tell who you are from the shore 200-500 yards away.
That is why skiffs have always had logo IDs on their sails and not
generally bothered with numbers. I suggest that boats should be
described in all class publications only by their name and skipper and
forget about the number. It is only a system to determine how old your
boat is and that will not benefit you in a few years unless we can
educate the whole world that swifts are so well built they last forever.
Im not putting numbers on my sails even if you protest me. There will
be a logo (gee I wonder what it will be) and you will remember it from
behind -LOL- So there!!!!!

I was noticing while out on rescue some sails overlapped their
numbers with the other side making them hard to tell. The white
numbers didn't seem to stand out either. Is black or red numbering
OK. What's the best way to place and space the numbers?
