I am going to replace some vinyl on my sails. I am curious what type of vinyl can I use. Someone from Hobie cat mentioned that they use insignia cloth. I am not sure what that is. Can I just use a good premium cast vinyl? Will that stick?

Not sure what the purpose is?

Stickers? Windows? Sail Numbers?

Take a look at Seattle Fabrics http://www.seattlefabrics.com You'll find "Insignia Cloth" in the Coated and Uncoated Nylon and Polyester Fabrics section.

You can also apply straight vinyl from a sign shop. Look at the Tybee boats, specifically Velocitys boats, all those logos are vinyl.

Sorry Matt, I'm a computer consultant (don't hold that against me) and I still don't know how to use "Google." :lol:

Hey Jeff, I don't have you listed as pre-registered for the Pinata Regatta at Rocky Point... If you're going to be there and racing I need your info.
