Hi Tony
Re the ties, I seem to recall some years ago you put this up for
discussion at one of the Slocum Spray Society (SSSA) committee
meetings. I think there was a problem with both the cost per tie for
small numbers, related to the fact that most of our members don't, and
may never, attend any function formal enough to warrant a tie - where
they are representing the SSSA.
That said, there may be members or owners out there who work in a
place where they wear a tie, or attend formal functions and might like
to wear a tie which has a reference to Joshua Slocum and or the Spray.
A very good conversation starter, I'm sure. But only members of the
SSSA would be entitled to wear a tie with the SSSA burgee on it.
Anyway - members of this forum can put their views.
Cheers
Sprayman
