Original Pinstripes

Post by Peter T »

Hi all. Have found original style pinstripes for the Investigator. Just ordered 4 x 10 metre rolls. Should do for at least a couple of replacements. Can get this blue, black and a couple of other colours I think
See below

Thanks Peter,
Will definitely lock this information away. As I have started to scrape away the anti fouling on Ripple I uncovered what I suspect is the original waterline pin striping. They are different to the designs you posted - any thoughts?

Hi Rick.
No, have never seen original waterline stripes. I suspect that has been added by whoever did the antifouling. These stripes are on the hull 6 or 8 inches or so below the timber tow rail. At the front of the boat they added a small second bit and trimmed to a point. The arrow at the front is just the same tape added under the top one and trimmed with a sharp blade

Thanks for that Peter, great! Mine are a bit jaded.

I reckon new ones combined with Investigator 563 badging as Greg recently did will be the go for me.

As the engineer said, "sure it works in practice, but will it work in theory?"
