The owner of T & M Flags in Vermilion, Ohio, and I have been working on a burgee for the CPYOA. This is the final product!!! I think it looks great.
The one pictured is 12 X 18 and will sell for $28.00 which includes Priority Mail--Flat Rate shipping to anywhere in the U.S. We can also have them made 18 X 24 at a later time. I have been working with the owner on burgees and flags for the University of Wisconsin Sailing Club for the last two years and we have been very pleased with the work he has done for us.
What I would like to do is use my PM account on the forum and find out how many forum members are interested. After a couple of weeks I can talk about how I will accept payment for orders, etc.
I will have the burgee with me at Strictly Sail in Chicago tomorrow. I will be around the Com-Pac booth off and on during the day if anyone that is there would want to track me down. I will not be attending on Sunday.
Below is an 18 X 24 burgee made for the Sailing Club. One of the UW Outdoor Programs Office employees is the model. We sell them out of that office on the lakefront of Lake Mendota.

FYI to all. This project has the blessings of CPYOA and the Com-pac factory and should not be confused with a commercial solicitation.
This is not designed to make a profit for anyone, but rather any proceeds will be donated to the owner of this site.
After all, he has paid the bills to keep the lights turned on here for over 10 years without ever asking for a dime from anyone.
So you are not only getting a really nice burgee but helping to keep this site going.
Thank you very much George for spearheading this project. Karma added and pm sent!

I am excited to get my Burgee. However, any advice on rigging and placement? I have a C16 with no spreaders. Found this. Any comments? http://www.coastalboating.net/Features/Editorials/2006/Burgees.html
Is there some way to 'pin it' to the starboard shroud?
This is what I use:

The starboard spreader practice has come about due to the electronic stuff common at the top of a mast these days. Trouble comes when you don't have a spreader. I'd suggest going with the traditional masthead approach instead if you don't have stuff at the top of the mast to interfere with the burgee. I discussed this at this posting: http://cpyoa.geekworkshosting.com/forum/index.php?topic=7164.0 . I have never had a problem hoisting or lowering a pig stick (I called this a cane in the post) unless the two rolling hitches holding the stick are too close together (when it tends to hoist at an angle and can jamb between the shrouds and the mast). The masthead position also keeps it in view on both tacks.
Yup! I second Tim's suggestion. I use those same thingees to fly Pegasus' colors from the topping lift. See no reason why it wouldn't work on the spreaders. I assume (dangerous word) that you mean one of the shrouds. I plan to fly my burgee from the bow rail just like my dad did on his '59 Chris Craft Cavalier, a real sweet cruiser even if it was a stinkpot. ;D
