Good luck!Dabbie Rashvest, Sweater & BeanieOur Dabbie sailors traditionally have Dabbie regalia/sailingwear for Youth Nationals.At our recent WC Dabbie Camp, the sailors indicated they were keen to have rashvests and a light sweater and beanie this year instead of hoodies.SecondSkins have produced a CAD sample of a rashvest they can do for us, which is attached. (Design by Luke and Barbara)Please could you have a look at it and let us have your comments ASP. Mark will need to put in our order by no later than next Wednesday. If you would like one (or two) please reply accordingly, with your size. Mark is hoping to persuade North Sails and Central Boating to sponsor part of the cost, so he has taken the liberty of putting their logos on the sleeves in anticipation of this. Please note that he has not yet approached them in this regard, and this is only a provisional drawing, not to be circulated. We have been told that the estimated cost (before
sponsorship) will be in the order of about R 180-200 per rashvest. He is hoping to get our potential sponsors to sponsor half the cost, or thereabouts. We also have sourced a beanie and sweater (from the firm that supplies us with hoodies and beanies) I will e-mail you a mock-up of the beanie and sweater by Monday or TuesdayThe estimated cost there will be about R 20-25 for the beanie and about R 130-140 for the sweater.Please would you get back to me as soon as possible with your orders (quantities and sizes ) Warwick Ham082 882 6414 Paul Eccleston
