Bavaria Decal
« on: December 26 2018, 17:45 »
Hi there. I’m looking for a replacement Bavaria Yacht decals for the stern of our 2006 Bavaria 39. Ive seen them on SVB but they appear fairly expensive. Any suggestions on where I can get one for a more reasonable price. Thanks. Al

You'd need a very good reference to the original in order to get one made, and I think it would cost you about the same as getting one from SVB.

Several versions (the logo changed a lot over the years) can be found with a simple search: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bavaria%20yachts%20logo%20svg

These are vector graphics, so well suited to sending off for printing. Or design your own :)

If you can get a very good preferably black and white photograph of the original decal taken directly over the centre point of the decal in order to avoid any problems with perspective, then there would be no reason why a silk screen printer could not copy the decal exactly, and print it out onto vinyl at whatever size you want in the colour/s you want. But they would have to make up the silk screen using a printers camera, and therein is where the costs tend to run away, if you only want one decal, then that is the most expensive option when you could have another fifty printed out for very little more money. Having said that, things might have changed in the last thirty or forty years with digitisation to enable those one offs to be done at more competitive prices.

Most sign markers now can print directly onto vinyl film to produce what ever you need..

The attached logo could be scaled up and tidied up before printing onto sticky backed film.

Did exactly that, but the "newer" logo had a better resolution so sent that to a company on ebay, for a couple of quid had a new logo :)
