Burgee arrived

[Daveanmucker]

Ayup, the burgee has arrived and a cracker it is , looks very good quality like it will last forever.

Soon be spring.

[spuddy]

And my two. Lost track of oncosts....what's the extra, Nick ? Dunno if the wind blows strong enough to get one flying down here.

Yup, mine arrived this morning too. It looks to be an excellent piece of kit, seems a shame to hide it up at the spreader.

My difficulty now is - when do I fly it?

At the moment I only have the Vega burgee, and I fly it 24/7 - in fact it's flying ( I hope ) now. I think that I would normally have taken it down for the winter, but it certainly stays up all season. IIRC the first one lasted two years, and I'm currently on my second. A much simpler construction and only £12 inc all the extras.

I think that I will want to look after this one better so will prob only fly it when we're aboard but I'll need to make the hoist system a bit slicker.

I have a hoist for a masthead burgee, but don't have a stick and anyway I think I prefer it under the port spreader.

What do others do with their burgees, and what do they intend doing with this one.

PS - Nick - Remember to let us know what the final damage is per burgee - I'm sure that we'll all stump up the extra ( even though it's likely to make our eyes water!)

[Booby Trapper]

Mine too, well done nick colours are great.

[aquaplane]

Hey I'm dead impressed, it's heavy duty stuff and should last ages. It's quite big and stiff too, I bet Erica will like it when she gets hold of it.

When you get chance to work out what the final damage is let us know.

[sahona]

Also arrived here, so firm it won't need any wind. Will have to make sure it can't clatter against anything...
It'll join Troon Cruising Club and Alicante Marina ('cos they give them away!) on the port spreader.
The fight for seniority begins!
Are you coming to Cumbrae to collect the excess, Nick?

[FullCircle]

Mine too. Very well packed I must say, with the Bluemoment calling card fluttering out on ripping it open.

Super quality, very good.

Now, stupid question, but should this be superior to my TOP one?

[Clyde_Wanderer]

Mines too, well done Nick you definatly know quality when you see it.
Was it Aquaplane who asked about where to fly it? took the words out of my index finger, but I see the instructions on its label says where to fly it, "Fly the best above the rest".
Honestly though where should it be flown considering I fly a Saltire under the sb spreaser? is that the correct position for the Saltire.
Let me know the balance Nick.
Thank you, C-W

[Rowana]

I was waiting for the final damage before sending off my cheque.

Nick, send me a PM with your snail-mail address and I'll get said cheque off in't post.

[DaveS]

Got mine this afternoon. Let's know what else is owed, Nick.

Hmm, where to fly it? Lots of scope for arguments there...

[jim.r]

Mine too .. Nick where do I pay ra extra?

[Nick]

.
Total looks like being around £15, but although Prestige say our card was debited at the end of last week it is still not showing on our statement, so I don't have an exact figure as I don't know what exchange rate will be applied.

Once I do have I will post here and put a PayPal donation button on the site somewhere. (Cheques cost 60p each now and take a week to clear!)

[Macwester28]

We now need a competition of the furtherest flung flying of the Blue Moment Burgee.

Mine will be flown within 2 weeks in Brittany, and if i remember to take the camera a picture posted

Very good quality flag, many thanks.

[Gordonmc]

Yup. Mine arrived this morning and it is now flying proudly... on my office wall.
I should get a pic of it on the spreader guy next weekend once the icy blast foerecast for tomorrow blows itself out.
Very fine.

[Ghillie]

Mine too, PDB or Gallus as they once used to say.
Thanks very much for your efforts Nick.
