Default Labeling Rope Clutches

Dymo worked well for us. Been on for over 15 years, although the clutches
are under the dodger.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

My sister just got a used sail boat boat and the markings on the rope
clutches/spinlock are worn badly and she would like to use some type
of label maker to re-label them. Is this feasible? Any suggestions
would be greatly appriciated. I was thinking of having small plates
made at a sign shop.


Dymotape (embossed plastic labelling tape), carefully applied to a
cleaned smooth surface will work just fine for the relatively short time
it will take to get to know the lines without having to read labels
(called 'learning the ropes').

I've seen old faded Dymo labels hanging on grimly for two or three
years.
