This Fleming 55 boat name belongs to True North, a yacht we lettered at Burr Yacht Sales in Edgewater, Maryland. We set her name in bold block capitals of burnished silver leaf film. Then we finished each letter with a crisp black Avery vinyl outline. Below the name, her hailing port, Cotuit, sits in smaller matching letters.
A Fleming 55 boat name in block capitals
A Fleming 55 has a wide, clean transom, so simple block capitals suit it well. As a result, the letters are easy to read from across the marina. They also match the classic lines of the boat. In addition, burnished silver has a soft, satin shine. That shine looks at home next to the white hull, the teak cap rail and the stainless steel rails.
A black outline for a Fleming 55 boat name
On a Fleming 55 boat name, silver on a white hull can fade into the background from a distance. For that reason, a thin black outline frames each letter. That way, the name stays sharp and readable in bright sun and in shade. The same outline on the hailing port also ties the whole layout together. It is a small detail, but it makes a big difference on a busy dock.
Lettering Fleming yachts at Burr Yacht Sales
We letter all of the Fleming yachts at Burr Yacht Sales, so we know these transoms well. For example, other recent silver leaf names include the brush script Pearl and Hummingbird. Every name starts with a drawing to scale. Next, we send a mock photo on your own transom, so you can see it before anything goes on the boat. If you are planning a Fleming 55 boat name of your own, we are happy to draw up a few options. Meanwhile, browse our boat names for ideas. You can also add a custom life ring with your boat name and hailing port to match.
