Fleming yacht name boards in carved teak
We make beautifully carved teak name boards. For example, Calypso is the name of a new Fleming yacht. Designs & Signs handles most of the boat lettering at Burr Yacht Sales in Edgewater, Maryland. Fleming makes a beautiful boat, so it follows that their names and name boards should be too. Every luxury cruising yacht needs a pair of carved teak boards made by hand. We mount one board on each side of the vessel.
Who makes the carved teak name boards
Travis Brandon designs all of the boards and boat names. He provides fonts and drawings to buyers, and he revises the drawings as needed. Our master carver carves the letters by hand, and Brendon J. Brandon applies the gold leaf and the outline.
We seal each board with TotalBoat Lust marine varnish and protect it with multiple coats of Awlcraft Clear 3000. As your carved teak name boards weather, they will need care eventually. The Awlcraft finish lasts ten years before it needs to be sanded and recoated. When the time comes, please send us your boards, and we’ll take care of it between seasons.
About the name Calypso
In Greek mythology, Calypso is a nymph from the island of Ogygia. In Homer’s Odyssey, she kept the hero Odysseus on her island for seven years before the gods told her to let him go. It is a fitting name for a boat that is made for the sea.
