Are there any resources to purchase C-dory type gear?

Hats, t-shirts, flags???

I have asked the dealer where I bought my boat...but nothing has appeared.

It seems most of the PNW owners are sporting c-dory gear.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
 
We got hats and vests from the factory when we bought the boat. I also bought a C-Dory polo shirt. Now that the factory doesn't sell direct, I don't know if this also applies to apparel. :disgust
 
Marc Grove @ Wefing's Marine in Eastpoint Florida is coming through for the crew of Ashley Lynn. Thanks Marc!
 
Here's a thought -

Maybe a C-Brat store could work with the "profits" going towards deferring site expenses.

The problem with running this type of business is the store operator is dealing with a relatively small audience who'll buy in small quanities.

I own a business that does printing/embroidery/signs/baby bibs/ you name it we'll put your logo on it. Doing small quanities is pricey so you need longer runs and then sell from your inventory.

One other consideration would be what items to offer and the design itself.
You wouldn't want to get into another "Let's design a C-Brat Burgee" (right Joe).

If there was a "ground swell" of support, perhaps offering an item or two might work.

After being in the T-shirt business over 20 years, I think you boys ought to take the advice above, open a store, and go for it! Don't hold back, go hell bent for leather like I did as a pup.

It's a "sure thing" you're going to strike it rich . . .
 
I was on the BOD of Seven Seas Cruising Association. We contracted with various venders to do our caps, visors, polo shirts, a few T shirts etc. Frankly it was not a profit maker, but it was advertising. I suspect that C Dory has a contractor they work with for the vests and caps. They would be smart to provide those at cost for for little profit to members. We have a couple of hats "for our trouble" and often folks ask us about the boats after seeing the caps. Nordhavn also gave us some caps and shirts after I gave some advice on some of their trip planning--again excellent advertising.
