It may seem like a detail but getting the right colour, font, sizing, positioning for the name took a bit of thinking about. We decided on gold because, although it sounds a bit blingy, (I did take a bit of convincing)! it's traditional and I have to admit it looks really good on a boat with classic lines like a Contessa 32. Trevor the local signwriter is a real artist - and as worked away on Calypso he lamented the fact that he spent less time doing free hand, creative work and more and more time doing transfers on the computer. The rest of Calypso is coming on at a fast pace, blogging will have to increase to a rate of Kit - at least twice a week - as the Boat Show fast approaches - 10th September - (for any one who's interested, and is close enough, we are berth number M502). More soon!
