[C38] How about a Burgee?

[George B. Suppes, III]

I think number 3 looks best.  Some times simple is better.  Our club uses
Prestiege Flag and we are happy with them ( My wife is the ship store
chair.)

didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away
from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
Discover."

Some of us have been "playing" with developing a C38 Association Burgee 
for years.  Indeed, Joe L. and Steve O. had one made a couple of years 
back but it was shelved due to cost (Steve reports it was more than 
$50).  I had my graphic designer nephew develop some ideas at the same 
time, but that too went on the shelf.

As the newly minted Vice Commodore, I figured I might just want to do 
something to earn the large salary that comes with this job... So, lets 
see if we can come up with a Burgee!

I propose a round of submissions by Association members that will 
enhance the eight options (attached) or propose your own design! I will then
get some pricing (I want to keep the cost below $30) We will then go through
a round of voting to select our choice. We then get to decide size and
depending on the design, whether reading 
the reverse side is a problem and what it would cost to correct We will then
accept orders from Association Members and will purchase 
and deliver the Burgees  (there are real discounts for large orders).

Factors that affect cost:
1. Size (most burgees measure around 12x18 inches)
2. Number of colors used
3. Material
4. Sewing of edges
5. Reverse reading (so you read it from both sides)

How about it?
