Name Boards

[waterdog]

Anyone ever hand carve name boards for their C34?   I went through season 1 without actually applying a name to the boat.   My last boat was a no brainer I carved name boards and it looked great.    This boat is 20 years newer - obviously would look good with vinyl graphics but I'm wondering if anyone has ever taken the more traditional approach and what it looks like...

There's one on a C30 of your vintage in my neck of the woods, and I think it looks nice.  Catalinas have sweet transoms (closed), and the older ones have enough teak to easily warrant an additional nautical touch such as a name board.  I don't think you'll regret it, especially if you've used on on previous boats.
