I like the long sleeved cotton t-shirts we've been getting at regattas like T-winds and GYC events. They work well as a sun screen and rash guard.

So, let's sell them in conjunction with annual association dues. I particularly like the idea of putting everyone's name on them and the F16 logo.

I can get em done, min order is 12 per color of t shirt.
Getting names onto them will be hard with silk screening because each name is unique and can sky rocket the price.

Maybe after you receive your t you can get them engraved locally.

Robi, wouldn't be much cheaper with thermo transferable film ? (Videoflex film -manufactured by Siser /Italy). It can be cut&plotted, many colours available.

For folks in EU probably, for folks in the US probably not.

Videoflex extra is about 2.2 US$/sqm in Europe, and you can cut a lot of letters from 1sqm.

sorry for the Europe link, here is the US site, I think the film should actually be cheaper in US.

Matt and Gina already have a very nice bright orang Vectorworks Blade shirt that I like, it is short sleave and better (cooler) for wearing around the beach, to stimulate interest, than a longsleeved shirt. But for actually racing, long sleeve is usually better.

www.landsend.com/business has long sleeved t-shirts and you can make small orders. They can embroider the F16 logo and the US F16 logo on them. Individual names would have to be set up as new logos, but could be added. Embroidering is more expensive than silk screening, but ......

T-shirts, hats, jackets, sweatshirts, towels, bags, etc......... I had some hats made for the 2007 Cat Caper. They turned out very nice.

I've got the instructions on how to order. Let me know if there is any interest.

I would suggest rash type shirts.. Not cotton..

I believe one can get individual printing done here. They use a printer similar to a standard computer printer.. heat transfer,... Cost is ok at least here..

I second the no cotton. I have a couple of these type of shirts and they are great. They dry in no time and are great as a regular shirt too.

The shirts I have are from www.vaporapparel.com and I like them a lot. Look at the Micro line. The heat transfer images look great and have survived many washings without any loss of color.

I third the no cotton. The loose fitting shirts made of the slickery rash guard material are sweet. See if you can also get it UV-proof. Keep the graphics classy. I'll take two XL.

For the US folks I can get them done. I would do a simple design. THe F16 logo on the left breast pocket and a silhouette in the back, something along the lines of the Global Challenge Ts I did.

We are looking at around $16.00 a t shirt shipped. Minimum order required is 12.

I like it!

How about

Race the wind

as a class motto?

Also, is long sleeve possible?

I like that motto. Long sleeve, I suppose will carry a small extra charge. Not sure.

The graphic on the back of the shirt kind of looks like a trimaran at first glance, because the port hull is smaller than the starboard and does not have a board. I think you need some water in the graphic so it is obvious that the port hull is partially submerged. Without the water, it just looks weird. To me, at least.

Thats an easy fix.

The shirts are inexpensive. I was hoping we could tie an annual shirt sale with Class dues.

Add a little to the price, to include dues for the year. Maybe something to think about for the future.

For that too happen I will have to sell them to the class. IE a class purchase. This is only a private purchase you will be doing from me. I am not the US class treasurer, so ide rather not do what you suggested instead ide sell them to him or her and they can tack on whatever they feel necessary.
