Vinyl Letters

How to Install a Boat Name

Vinyl letters look awesome! They give your boat a name and a character. Installing these defining features can be a bit tricky at first thought, but it really is simple once you get the hang of it.

In this video, Herby shows you how to install vinyl letters on your boat, allowing you to install the boat’s name yourself!

New Name!

Wisdom was repainted, and with the new paint means that our old name was sanded off.

The big question was if we should paint or do vinyl letters. I wanted to paint and Maddie wanted to do vinyl letters.

Happy wife, happy life! We went with vinyl, and I’m am very happy with the results.

On the bow, Maddie decided to add our Rigging Doctor logo, in addition to the name. We have a YouTube channel, so making the boat stand out makes it more videogenic.

On the stern, we decided to work around the issue of having a wind steering system.

The old name was written from one side to the other, and the wind steering obscured the whole name.

To solve that issue, we put the name and port on one side of the transom and the logo on the opposite. The goal is to make the transom look clean and neat, while also having the name and port visible from a distance.
