Ship’s Store is off to a great start.  Thanks to Mark Walker, we sold $486 worth of merchandise at the Mother’s Day Brunch. There have been a few other purchases that puts our year-to-date sales well over $500.

Larry Conrad, as our commodore, executed a contract with Coral Reef Sailing Apparel from which you can purchase logo items.  They perform this service for a very large number of sailing clubs including the Indianapolis Sailing Club.   We still have over $4,000 worth of apparel, coolies, burgees, coasters, etc. that we need to sell first. All of the money collected goes to the ECSC to benefit all of the members.

See the Ship’s Store catalog on the ECSC website.  We may not have all the colors and sizes that are described in the catalog, though. Father’s Day is coming up we will have a table set up with merchandise at the Brunch. Bring your wallets.

SHIPS STORE –

As the 2017 sailing season gets underway, sailors’ thoughts go to what will make them look good or will protect them from the elements or even to what will keep their cold beer cold. The Ship’s Store has what you need,  AND EVERYTHING IS HALF OFF. If you are interested in purchasing an item, go to the Ship’s Store website CLICK HERE and find the item.   I will be updating the website soon so it gives an up to date inventory of what is available. Note that the prices given do not reflect the discounted 50% price.

All you need to do is email the Ship’s Store at this address CLICK HERE and describe the item(s).  I will then email you with the cost and the availability.  We can arrange delivery at the Club or another place if necessary to pick up the goods.  I prefer that you bring a check made out to the Club. Credit and debit cards cannot be used. Soon there will be a spreadsheet on the site giving an up to date inventory with pricing.  So think of upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and days when you need to make up for something you did. Buy them some ECSC bling.

Ship’s Store,

As noted in the December Tell Tales, significant changes are afoot for the Ship’s Store.  We are anticipating a change in how ECSC merchandise is bought.    Al Wilkins has done a great job of getting the best pricing for the merchandise ordered in anticipated quantities and handling their sales, particularly at club events.

Going forward, it is our intention to handle club merchandise in the same manner as other sailing clubs.  We will have an arrangement with a vendor that will have our logo to apply to any item ordered by an individual.  You will go to that vendor’s website and order your T-shirt, hat, etc.  in various colors, pay for it online and have the merchandise shipped directly to you.  As we transition to the new approach, we will no longer order new inventory.  The existing inventory will be sold at a yet to be determined discount. More details to come soon.

Thanks,

Les Miller,

Ship’s Store
