What is she again? My eyeball-ID-foo is questionable even when the maker and model are printing in day glow pink.

And yes, compared to vt, at least, ny is a royal pita in terms of registration. I'd be pushing my luck registering the sailboat in vt since it spends 365 days in ny.
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

We wear white anytime we can here in Florida. Reflects the sun and heat. I like the name right where you mocked it up.

Typical convention for small boats in the South East is boat name on the transom, boat builder name on the side, up high, just forward of the stern. I always assumed I would make the name more square in orientation so it fits on the transom adjacent to the outboard. But with that font, you can’t go wrong. It will be a shame not to splash that bling on there somewhere.

After a few hot days here, finally, I can believe it!

Great point there Dan. Nothing says that Blue Sky is the name, maybe it is the builder, like PiheraCraft. That's another reason I have no problem putting it on the side where the builder name usually goes. With that in mind, I'm now thinking I'll go a little smaller than I had orginally planned and maybe a little subtler in color to blur the line a little more between name/builder.

Yeah, unfortunately, our mutual friend, EJ, already has, though Elaine thought they had stopped production on those.
