West Coast Weather Vanes specializes in custom copper weathervanes and many of our sailboat weathervane designs represent actual sailboats. Customers often want the sailboat weathervane we make for them to reflect their boat. You can see a number of examples here on our website where we have done precisely that. In addition to creating weathervanes based on specific sailboats, we often gold leaf the name of the sailboat right onto the weathervane. Sails can also be customized to look like those on the real sailboat.

There are several factors that affect the price of our boat weathervanes. If our customers are able to provide us with schematic drawings of their boat, we can often reduce our standard custom design fee accordingly. Some of our customers have even lent us models of their boat to help us made their weathervane as realistic as possible. Because the price of all our weathervanes is based on how long it takes us to make them, another consideration is how detailed we make the weathervane. Some of our sailboat weathervanes have cockpits, steering wheels, detailed sheets, etc. Some don’t. Normally, you look up at a weathervane so details like the cockpit and steering wheel may not be visible from this angle. If we eliminate these features or reduce them in complexity, we can reduce the cost of the weathervane accordingly.

One thing to remember, however, is that handmade copper weathervanes can last a very long time, even a century or more, and the weathervane may not spend its entire life in its original location up on the roof or on a cupola. Someone in the future may want to take the weathervane down off the roof and display it indoors as a piece of American Folk Art. If this is the case, details like the cockpit and steering wheel would be visible. This is one important aspect in favor of adding these types of details. Either way, since each vane is made to individual order, we can add or eliminate details based on our customer’s preference.

Custom sailboat weathervanes make wonderful gifts. Probably more than half the sailboat weathervanes we’ve made were given as gifts, either for a birthday or other special occasion or by a grateful crew to its skipper.
