I am not a particularly deft captain. Every bit of information available will improve my chances of reaching my destination with a minimum of damage. With that in mind, I decided to add an anemometer. The Only Mate called for a vote, and in a close contest, my choice lost. Sticking to my guns, I decided instead to add a burgee to provide some wind information (licking my finger and sticking it in the air proved ineffective at the helm). My choice was the CSR burgee proudly displayed by my dockmate, Windjammer...and a couple other Allatoona boaters. The Only Mate called for a vote, and in a close contest...my choice lost.
She wanted something to match the boat, and tracked down Dream Boat Plus...a woman who apparently does these by hand. We ordered it, it is exceptionally well made, very nicely embroidered on both sides in several colors, and nicely hemmed. You can't tell from these views, but this is done on both sides, so that it is readable both ways.
I ordered a front pole, but it hasn't gotten here yet, so I used an old one to see how it looks...
If there are sponsors who do this, please support them. If you have a less demanding Only Mate, a CSR burgee would have been more than sufficient. If none of the first two apply, I recommend Carol highly. Her email is DreamBoat [dbbplus@comcast.net] and her online store is here http://www.dreamboatplusauctiva.com/ (update...try www.dreamboatplus.com)
Here is the sheath (condom) for the burgee in a Sunbrella black. Our seamstress did them for about $20
Rear sewn flag on a Taylormade 30" pole (probably a little smaller than prescribed, but we can get around it on tie ups)
And its sheath (condom)
Price, including shipping and custom artwork was less than $60 however, check pricing etc., yourself for your own boat if interested.
