Or how about
Joyeux ballade en mer

I'll ask the French girl at work on Tuesday for you if you'd like. Her English is really good so I am fairly sure she will understand what you are on about.

Au contraire pw-london.
à can mean to, for or in. One doesn't say dans lit (in bed) one says au lit ( à le lit)
Anyway trying to keep the phrase short and meaning what the OP wants I reckon this is the best way
Bonne voile à Happy

My French is good, my French flatmates French is better. Bonne voile a Happy make no sense at all.

Thanks for going on with this guys, I'm in no rush as gotta put it into the design aswell.

[sledgehammer]

why not get a tattoo of a boat sailing into the distance / sunset ?

[(philip)]

OR SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

[Grimshaw17]

Well I did think that but the phrase has more meaning personally

[Grimshaw17]

Sorry to bring this up again but I had a thought. On the plaque its quoted like this: "Happy" Sailing. Is there a way to replicate this in French? So that I can have happy in quotations and then sailing?

Just asked the French girl at work and she wrote it below:

 

Bonne navigation

 

She asked whether it was for a car or a boat as apparently it makes a difference as they consider a journey in a car as 'sailing'. Trust the French to be weird.

[Grimshaw17]

Thanks for that, another clarification on Bonne Navigation then :)

Our product designer has just said you should put

 

"La happy sailing"

 

Everyone would understand it and people would guess you are trying to say it in French.
