Need Sailboat Decor Ideas

[Chapap]

My wife and I bought a 31’ sailboat. It’s older so not all that roomy, but there’s enough room that it can be decorated. My wife is picking out the obligatory, sailing themed pillows and blankets and such. I wanted to go for a ski lodge vibe but that got shut down. So I’m looking for tidbits to sneak in over time. I definitely want a small “so you’re lost at sea for dummies” type book and a small taxidermied animal head. A deer head won’t fit, so I want literally just a tiny animal head to hang up… squirrel? Rabbit?

maybe a few lizard heads in the corners?

i feel like sailing themed blankets and pillows could be too much on a sailboat. i think your hunting lodge idea would be way better.

What boat did you get? I have a small sailboat and would like a larger cruiser some day, but just don't have time or money at the moment.

Exactly what I said... but I don't have the authority to override the decision apparently.

It's a 1989 Hunter 31 I picked up for $6k. It's a marina foreclosure in fantastic shape and would be a deal at double the price... triple would be on the low side too. I'll put a few grand in for a bottom job and if it doesn't work out, I can get my money back in the engine and sails alone.

I would go more classical sailboat decor.

Wood, canvas, brass etc.

I would love to have one, don't know much about sailing and don't have anywhere to do it if I did.

I'll have some either this weekend or the next when I sail it home... will be a 10+ hr trip so plenty of pic time.

Oversized Brandy Glass. fill it with candy, drugs, condoms (ribbed magnums) and handgun ammo. Set center stage. You will narrow down your preferred company.

Adrift is on Netflix, its a pretty good movie to pass some time too.
