Registration Stickers

Last year I registered with Gwynedd and put the registration stickers down each side of the SIB.

One washed off in the waves and got lost somewhere.
Other was looking like about to wash off when I peeled it off myself and kept it rolled up just to show at the slipway or to anyone who asked to see it.

So - I'm guessing I should have put them on the engine first time round, but also, I want more than one location for this year so will have at least two sets of numbers.

I'm thinking of maybe using some form of custom vinyl print service and having numbers printed out that I can then use / remove as required

Any thoughts or other suggestion?

Thanks
Paul

I’ve not found anything yet in the “self adhesive” sticker world, that will stay stuck to tubes. I’d stick them onto a piece of rigid material, plastic/varnished wood & tie them onto the life lines as & when needed.

This is the answer, Loch Lomond actually sell panels of plastic for £4 for this purpose. Drill two holes in the top, couple of bits of string to the life lines and they're good to go.
