Launch weekend
The slip stays. The boat name leaves.
Northern yards launch in March and April and haul in the fall. Slip signs have to be on the dock before the first launch weekend. Merging the slip number and the current boat name breaks at the next sale.
Finish slip signs before launch. Order boat names separately.

Design around the details that matter
Different pieces for different purposes
Custom Boat Nameplate
Describe the installation location and whether the piece is decorative or intended to satisfy a particular marking requirement. Provide any applicable specification separately; a nameplate design does not establish registration compliance.
Yacht Club Member Plaque
Distinguish an annual membership recognition from a life-membership honor. Use the club's approved title and dates, with a short dedication if the piece also thanks the member for a specific contribution.
Full-Color Marina Map & Sign Package
Use the current site plan and have the marina verify every destination and route. A visitor map is separate from an approved emergency plan; supply any required safety content through the responsible operator.
Which buying guide should you read next?
All buying guidesBerth numbers versus vessel nameplates
Give the berth a stable location identity and the vessel its approved personal name, then decide which physical pieces should change when occupancy changes.
Boat name plaque layout and lettering guide
A maker-side layout guide with character counts and letter-height planning, plus a plain summary of the federal name and hailing port marking rules for documented vessels cited to 46 CFR Part 67, stating clearly that a Harbor Plaque Co decorative plaque is not a substitute for required markings.
Counting double-sided marina direction signs
Count complete two-sided direction-sign assemblies for the order, then maintain a separate face schedule for wording and orientation approval.
Coordinate marina signs and vessel nameplates for delivery
Keep fixed berth identity separate from boat names and temporary marina information. Approve the location, reading direction and mounting for each sign, then group the order by dock or vessel. Recognition awards and commemorative pieces need their own presentation schedule.
