Ships, Sailing, Maritime / boating

Swedish term or phrase: stävmärke

I know what it is but not what it is used for: http://www.vastkustkretsen.se/butiken/products_pictures/stav... and cannot find the exact term in English. Boat decal feels too general.

Thanks again,
Tricia

bow badge

Explanation:
Please see references- scroll down to 'bow badge' in ref 2.
This is more likely to be recognised by 'yachties'.
The item to which Matstrish refers seems to be a decal based on the Västkustkretsen bow badge, but even so, I think it would be referred to as a boat badge in a similar catalogue in UK.
