Very clever. Decal manufacturers will make those in any size, and those could be placed on kayaks and sails.
(But I like
150' Rules)
I made one that says,
WIND TAX → for the registration decal on my
unpowered sailboat. And also put the RSA,
RSA 270 E4 on my kayak.... (An MP officer once wrongly ticketed me as having violated that RSA: a letter in support from NHMP Director Barrett is stored
inside that kayak).
With that RSA on my kayak's bow, I watched as an MP put down his binoculars
and wave the following season!

Calculations, like statistics, can be handy indicators: In the real world, boat numbers on
moving boats are difficult to read at that distance even when conditions are ideal.
Another 150' rule of thumb is 11 Sunfish sailboats lined up end-to-end.
