C-Dory banner

[Molly Brown]

Hey All:

Saw this banner in Sleepy C's album that appears to have been at recent gathering. Do groups make their own or is there a source to acquire these? If not, is there a template to get one made?

While that banner is the property of Dave Safford (C-Shift) it has been a fixture at CBGTs in the west for many years. At each gathering We write the event and year it has been displayed on the reverse side. Not sure where he got it or how long ago.

I now consider the banner to be the property of our "C-Brat Virtual Yacht Club". I had a local beer distributing company years ago (when Mike and Bill first started the C-Brat site) print it up for me. At that time the printing on the banner was the "headline" on the C-Brat Site homepage. The beer distributing company was able to bring up the homepage on the website on their computer and press a few buttons and print out the vinyl banner. Like Barry said, we just hand the banner off to the "host/planner" of the next gathering. (we also pass around a coffee can filled with donated cash to help fund each gathering). Initially, we didn't record the names and dates of the gatherings. Fortunately someone came up with that idea and it makes for a nice historical touch. The very first gathering that it was viewed at was at Blakely Island in the San Juan's when I cruised in with it secured on the side of our former 16' Cruiser in 2003. A picture of the banner on the side of the 16' Sea Shift can be viewed on page 5 of the photo album of that gathering....perhaps one of you skilled computer nerds can transfer that picture onto this thread :lol:

Just took a trip back through memory lane. Some of mine and much from before I got here, BUT, I found your picture Dave and if this works, I'll post it here.



I did find some good pix of that banner here and there along the way and learned some C-Brat history.
