The details

The green side. The one with right of way, and the one everybody forgets first. STARBOARD in white condensed capitals on marine green, with a solid arrow pointing outboard to the right — the same green burning on the right-hand side of every set of running lights on the water. Nine letters is a lot to shout across a cockpit. This says it once and keeps saying it. Clean flat marine lettering, a crisp white keyline, a rounded rectangle, and nothing else. No clip art, no rope borders, no distressed texture, no cartoon anchor. It reads instantly from across the boat and looks like it came with the hull rather than off a gift-shop rack. Sold on its own — for the owner who only needs the one, for replacing the side that faded first, or for anyone who wants a second one down below where the crew actually stands when they get it wrong. The matching red PORT decal is listed separately, and the pair is listed as a set. Goes on coamings, cockpit locker lids, either side of the companionway, beside the helm, on bulkheads below, or on the hatch boards. Genuinely useful on a new boat, a charter, a club dinghy, or a training keelboat where half the crew are still learning — and quietly funny on a boat where everyone should know better by now. ✦ THE PERFECT GIFT FOR: • New boat owners still learning where everything is • Sailing instructors and club race coaches with rotating crews • The friend who bought the boat before taking the course • Anyone briefing a fresh crew every week • Sailing club gift exchanges and end-of-season crew gifts • Anyone outfitting a first dinghy, daysailer or cruiser ✦ DESIGN Single die-cut vinyl sticker, 4" x 1". STARBOARD in white condensed bold on marine green (#00843D) with a right-pointing white arrow and a white inner keyline on a rounded rectangle. Drawn as flat vector artwork and printed at 300 DPI with a contour cut and a thin white border. ✦ THE STICKER • Durable die-cut vinyl with a clean printed finish • Weather resistant and rated for outdoor use • Strong permanent adhesive that holds on gelcoat, fiberglass, painted surfaces, glass, metal and hard plastic • Contour cut to the rounded-rectangle shape — not a square with a picture on it • Sized to sit neatly on a coaming, locker lid, bulkhead or hatch board ✦ APPLYING IT Clean and dry the surface first — salt and wax are the enemy of adhesion. Wipe with an alcohol wipe if you have one, peel, position, then press firmly from the centre outward. Give it 24 hours before it gets rained on or washed down. On a curved surface, warm the vinyl gently with your hands and it will follow the shape. ✦ SIZING / CARE / SHIPPING Measures 4 inches wide by 1 inch tall. Sold individually — this listing is the STARBOARD decal only. Hand wash the surface around it rather than pressure washing directly at the edges, and it will outlast several seasons. Green to starboard. Now nobody has to think about it. ⛵🟢
