I am close to completion on the 1987 Z-33 I purchased last year.

I am going through the interior and my uphostery guy asked me what the Donzi Logo on the clear panels represents. It is a Lion and a Dolphin. Does anybody know the history behind the logo?

Additionally, I am looking for some new Donzi decal for the side of the boat, does anyone know where I can locate them?

According to Owen (Formula Jr.) here he posted this
"the Lion/ Dolphine logo can be traced back to the ancient french port coat-of-arms of Dunkirk."

The Chisholms changed the Donzi logo in 1972 from the Propeller to the Lion / Dolphin.
