Timberwolfy 74 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 kia ora! curious about people's opinions on bulkhead plaques... most clubs are only printing them if skippers say they want them nowadays. when offered, do you accept them? do you mount them on your boat or store them elsewhere? do you keep them when you sell the boat? (asking for a friend... 😜) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 1,719 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 A few years ago my daughters found some swimming medals from 50 years ago in a drawer somewhere. They made them into earrings. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Psyche 755 Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 I vote for the memories collection, the new owner will make their own. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 454 Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 As with many things time has changed the common practice, with many of the well campaigned NZ keelboats it was a badge of honour to paper the main bulkhead with plaques -but now not so much- apart from some of the ocean races. And I have observed some great displays at owners houses or offices these days -which is probably more fitting. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytom 683 Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 All my plaques have stayed with vessel and when brought vessel had some plaques,so just carrying on tradition. Bit hard to glue some to the r/c yachts I have had though😁 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To have just found that, your chart table must be in another dimension, like the Tardis and my partners handbag 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
