Hi guys. Does anyone have any idea what this is? I thought it was commercial or Snell, but no cigar.

Felix, it's Larissa Extra Bold. Please do the customer (and the world) a favour by closing the spacing and connecting it!

Thanks Arthur. Do you want to know something? They specifically requested this font. "cursive, but separated". I don't bother anymore.
Do you want to know more? The Marivi job on http://www.boatgraphicspr.com/ , the owner JUST called me saying that he was playing on his computer & had found a "real cool" letter & he wanted me to redo his boat this week. This really cool font is, of course, to be done all caps... .... ready for it?... the font it Monotype Corsiva.

Icky Icky Icky I loath script all in capitals!!! And even more appalling, Old English all capitals!
Some peoples taste is all in their mouths!

All those thousands of dollars in boats to brag to the next millionaire in the harbor and they want puke for lettering....educate them Felix

I knew it would be the end of the world – once customers 'found' fonts!
I see a lot of boats as I work on the river, and I assure you his all caps Corsiva adventure will not be unique!
I'm still waiting for my worst nightmare to appear: All caps Vivaldi – I know one day it will happen.
The scary thing is that as more and more inappropriate lettering is used, the less of an affront it will become. So, I beg you to find the energy to resist wherever possible. We will have no right to complain if we don't fight our corner.
