I'd like to fly a burgee, but could use some guidance on selecting or designing one ('Margaritaville', jolly-roger or crossed martini glasses are all non-starters — for me anyway).<br /><br />Would you consider writing a post on your thoughts on the subject? I'd be happy to hear them.<br /><br />PS - I did see quite a few boats with burgees on the east coast, but they were all NYYC ones. I shudder to think what it costs to fly one of those.Aaron Headlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08936150018996105040noreply@blogger.com
