ONE TIME ONLY CHANCE TO ORDER AN SS CENTENNIAL FLAG

In preparation for the July 4th, 2008, 100th birthday party of the SS -- probably the oldest wooden one design sailboat still racing in America today in its original configuration, with at least 50 of the original 155 boats still seaworthy -- a special 3¹ x 5¹ flag has been designed for the occasion. This flag is only available by special order, and we [the Westhampton Yacht Squadrons Centennial Committee] are placing the order NOW. We will offer the flag to you at cost.

If you would like to order a flag(s) -- for your flagpole, as a wall decoration, as a Christmas present, special occasion gift, whatever -- please let Meredith Murray know by November 4th. Sailors, yachtsmen, Long Island water lovers, all will enjoy this very special and colorful flag, and this is a way to publicize the coming Centennial.

The final price will be determined by how many flags we order. We estimate a cost of $90 per flag, which includes tax & shipping. Right now we just need a head count for the order.

The 3¹ x 5¹ yardarm-size flag will feature a profile of the SS, complete with white mainsail and jib featuring ³SS on the mainsail, brown mast, spars, tiller and cockpit combing, and a white hull, on a parrot blue background with ³1908² in large white numerals in the upper left hand corner and ³2008² in the upper right hand corner.

At the actual Centennial Celebration other SS mementoes will be available, possibly including a small triangular burgee with the letters ³SS on it.

Today¹s offering, however, may be the only opportunity to order the larger flag with the sailboat itself pictured.
