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.
