Re-Painting Logo on Sail

[Stache]

Just bought a Widgeon and though the sails are in great shape the Red W and the Blue Circle is very faded. Any ideas on how to restore the logo?

Just trace your old insignia, and cut new ones out of Adhesive Backed UV Dacron
Apply them over your old ones, and your done..

That sounds like they should be available for purchase somewhere.

I was just going to recommend SAIL-RITE! I actually have bought their sticky-backed Dacron to use for repairing rips and seams on my boat's sails. It works great. They might even be able to send you a pre-cut WIDGEON Insignia? Worth calling to check, may cost a bit more, but would save having to trace and cut it yourself. I know that I got a quote from them for a kit to sew a new jib for my old Widgeon.

If the insignia is that faded, the sails probably look like a balloon made of bedsheets. I'd consider new sails.

I'm interested in painting on the sails. Is this a viable option for renewing a faded insignia?

You might have to use an oil-based paint because water-based tends to bleed on Dacron fiber.
