When the luxury yacht Chopi Chopi faced ongoing problems with its dip door transom name, the client reached out to Lumenautica for an expert solution. The original sign, made by another manufacturer, experienced repeated LED failures due to poor construction methods and water ingress. With our extensive experience in yacht sign refurbishment, we provided a high-quality LED to fibre optic conversion, ensuring long-lasting durability in a demanding marine environment.

Addressing Overhang and Misalignment with Precision

Our expert team identified significant issues with the sign’s construction, including misaligned laminates and uneven profiles caused by inconsistent artwork.

This led to overhangs and further complications. To correct these issues, we employed advanced 3D scanning technologies to create precise and accurate artwork. By leveraging state-of-the-art technology, we were able to achieve a perfect fit, ensuring the finished sign aligned seamlessly with the yacht’s design.

Expertise in Marine-Grade Materials and Water-Tight Construction

Upon inspection, we discovered the original letters had been bonded using standard silicone, unsuitable for marine conditions. As specialists in marine-grade materials, we know that standard silicone can degrade quickly when exposed to saltwater, leading to leaks and electrical failures. Our team used the highest quality, purpose-built materials designed for marine environments, ensuring a robust, water-tight bond. This guarantees long-term durability and protection against water ingress.

Superior LED to Fibre Optic Conversion for Submerged Signs

For yacht signs like Chopi Chopi‘s transom name, which is submerged periodically, we recommend a fibre optic solution. Unlike traditional LED signs, where electronics are housed within the letters themselves, fibre optic systems keep all sensitive electronics external and securely protected.

This significantly reduces the risk of failure from water exposure. With our expert understanding of fibre optics and marine environments, we ensured the new sign met the client’s performance expectations while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the original design.

Stainless Steel Polishing Refurbishment for a Flawless Finish

In addition to the LED to fibre optic conversion, the client opted for a stainless steel refurbishment to bring the sign up to the yacht’s exacting standards. Our skilled polishers meticulously worked to remove distortions and surface scratches, restoring the stainless steel to its original, super mirror polished finish.

This level of craftsmanship demonstrates our commitment to quality and attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of the refurbishment is flawless.
