I'm helping a friend do a book on an old Dansih Boat, we have all these ol pictures and a model builder is building a Down Scale version of the boat - i need help to identify the font use for the boat name on the sides.

So if anyone could help me out it would be great.

That ain't no font - it's hand painted. You could try Interstate or Din to get a similar look.
But you won't match this with a single font, the Rs don't match.

If the diagonal curve on the S is important, check out Agency from Font Bureau.

Thanks for you quick response, i have tried the DIN and that almost did the Job - so maybe i just have to Strech & bend i a little bit.

Thanks again

Or, for the handpainted 'look & feel', you may want to take a look at 'Landry Gothic', a nearly free font, by Andrew Leman.. http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/ephemera/landry-gothic/landry-gothic/testdrive.html?s=ETERSDENMARK&p=48
( A type I really like, somehow, I may add.. )
