Taffrail Press makes all kinds of customized logbooks for everyone: ship managers and vessel operators, crewing agents, clubs, schools, charter firms and individual boaters. If your company already has its own deck log, engine room log or record book layout, we print it for you: from your own templates or forms, branded with your company name and logo and named for your vessel or fleet.
Who We Make Custom Logbooks For
- Ship managers and vessel operators: company-branded deck logs and engine room logs for one vessel or a whole fleet.
- Crewing and port agents: record books and registers printed to your own forms.
- Yacht management companies: vessel-named logbooks for the yachts you manage.
- Sailing schools and clubs: training logs and club logbooks in your colors and layout.
- Charter firms: logbooks for each boat in your charter fleet, set up the way your skippers and guests record trips.
- Individual boaters: a one-off logbook built around the way you keep records aboard.
Two Ways to Get Started
- Send us your existing templates or forms: we print them as they are, with your name, logo and vessel name.
- Tell us what you need: no forms yet? Describe the records you keep and we draft the layout for your approval.
How It Works
- Contact us: email or use the contact form and tell us about your logbook.
- Draft or proof: we prepare a proof from your forms, or draft a new layout for you.
- Your approval: you review and approve the pages and cover before anything is printed.
- Printing: we print your logbooks in the size and binding you choose: A4 or A5 wire spiral, A4 perfect-bound softcover or A4 hardcover.
What We Can Print
We print deck logs, engine room logs and other record books from your own templates or forms. Send us the layouts you already use (PDF, Word, Excel or scanned drawings) and we typeset them into a printed logbook with your company name, logo and vessel name on the cover and pages. Forms are printed to your own approved templates, so the content and layout stay exactly as your company has set them.
Binding Options
Custom logbooks are made in one of two styles: just tell us which you prefer.
- Metal wire spiral binding (lies flat): A4 or A5, 120 pages, soft or hard cover, with a black-and-white interior on uncoated paper. Ideal for daily entries at the chart table or engine-room desk.
- A4 perfect-bound softcover or A4 hardcover: softcover from 20 to 300 pages or hardcover from 24 to 300 pages, on uncoated matte paper, for record books kept on the shelf.
