The sign writer is AMAZING! Thank you for letting Foxes Afloat record your artistic process. Loved this video!!

I know this is history now but I'm finding this vlog intensely emotional....the talent, the music, the realisation of a dream....just wow lads.

Good afternoon Foxes. What a stunningly handsome boat, your choice of font and the execution is absolutely perfect, as is the overall colour scheme. Simply put, the whole build is an example of impeccable taste. Congratulations once again.

Typographical perfection executed by a true craftsman. Silver Fox has indeed been signed off. 👌

I spent 30 years in the print and sign making business and Rob Wagg is brilliant. Your decision to use a simple script is equally brilliant. Allowing enough negative space to highlight the name is just good design.
