WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING
"I spent many months thinking about a name for my boat. I wanted it to be unique and solely mine. BNR gives me the opportunity to protect my boat’s name."
"The tips available on BNR are endless to help in naming your boat. It makes coming up with a personalized and EXCLUSIVE name easy."
"Maintaining a long family tradition was important when we named our boat and taking steps to protect the name and not have it copied was important to us. BNR helps us with that process."
"I sail in a "class" sailing club and the only thing that distinguishes my boat from the others is the name on the transom. I couldn’t wait to register my boat name with BNR to keep others in my class from getting the name first."
