Welcome rail mat

[kernr]

All -

When we bought the boat it had a Welcome Mat over the rail where the Grand Banks Logo is written and it had the boat name on it. Where does one purchase a new one. It is weighted in the ends so it pretty much hangs straight down and doesn't blow around a lot.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Bob

Depending upon your location, you may be able to get a customized mat made up.
Ours simply has the boat name and a stylized profile of a trawler. It came exactly the correct size to have at the helm, where I stand on it. Custom made, purchased on a sailing charter in Turkey several years ago.

Gunwale mat

All -

My bad - sorry to bother everyone with a frivolous question. When I first looked on line I didn't see much availability. But then I realized it was not a "rail mat" but it is called a "Gunwale mat" and there quite a few options available. I ordered one - just another cost associated with changing the name of your boat - it is sort of like changing the name of a company - not cheap!!
