With the local shops and restaurants starting the festive season as the kids go back to school in September its finally time for the rest of us to catch up put the heating on, cook some mince pies & get in the festive spirit!

Here at Rule 26 we've been busy with lots of exciting stuff including our new range of display systems and our 2012 clothing ranges. Check out our website or pop-in to see us in Hamble for more information. Give us a shout if you need support with exhibition stands and staff uniform for the London Boatshow!

We are also really pleased to be launching our new, ultra slick newsletter format. After some of you had problems opening last months we thought we'd better get it fixed so we got Ross at Skysoclear to build us a new template and we think you'll agree its a huge improvement!

Well look no further as Rule 26 can now transform your images into bright and sophisticated canvas prints to suit any budget and any wall.

We can print your photos onto a high quality satin white artist's canvas (350gsm). This canvas provides high detail and rich contrast (compared to matte canvas) to help show off your photo in the best possible manner.

Prices start from:

£23 for A3 size canvas (12" x 16")
£40 for A2 size canvas (16" x 24")
£52 for A1 size canvas (24" x 32")
£78 for A0 size canvas (32" x 48")

Prices include VAT

We can also do custom sizes up to 1.3m wide, so give us a call or email us with your ideas and let us help you create a fabulous Christmas gift!

And don't they look smart in those tee shirts we branded (we think so!!)

Ian Williams has done the double by adding the Monsoon Cup to his third ISAF Match Racing World Champion crown after the British sailor defeated Johnie Berntsson 3-1 in the final of the World Match Racing Tour’s finale event in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia.

Speaking after his victory, the British skipper of Team GAC Pindar, said: “This really tops off a terrific season! The team has done so well, we are a new team who have come together and just got stronger and stronger all year. We won all three regattas on five man boats so I think that just shows the strength of the team.”

Well done to Team GAC Pindar.

For those that couldn't read this one on last months newsletter - here's some info on winter deals for vehicle branding.

Need a cost effective marketing tool? Have you thought about vehicle branding? Not only is it attractive and visible 24/7, with our vinyl wraps lasting around 7 years, it makes the marketing cost per day very reasonable and we use environmentally friendly print techniques so everyone is a winner.

Here at Rule 26 we've done a lot of vehicle branding recently and have acquired new facilities to brand your vehicle come rain or shine at a time that suits you - rather than the weather! This winter we are offering you the chance to brand your vehicle at great prices with the guarantee of no hidden costs. All aspects of artworking and application are included.

Branding costs start from £100 for a basic design, from £300 for a half wrap and from £800 for a full wrap. Give us a call on 023 8045 8173 or email for a no obligation quote.

Don't forget you can get further information about what we're up to, what our customers and teams we support are doing and other sailing gossip by following us on Facebook & Twitter - just click the links at the top of this newsletter!
