My wife came home with a GREAT idea for Rick and all us guys of this website.......
She is already thinking of the holidays coming up and is always on the lookout for "stuff" to get me for Christmas, Birthdays, Fathers Day etc.. Her problem is because I am fussy about what I want/need she says. (really, I just know what I want and don't want- I'm sure you understand)

Here is the idea, a gift registry with a twist.......
I fill out my wants, likes, and needs from the Catsailor.com Store on some type of electronic form that Rick and Mary provides. I also, on that form, give the name and email address of everyone I want to know about this list of items I want (wife, girlfriend, mother-in-law etc etc etc). Rick sends the email to everyone on the list saying HE knows what we want. They email back with how much they want to spend and he selects something from the list, gives them the email address of the store and the item number. (and presumably takes it off the list so we don't get doubles).

The beauty of the idea is that WE GET EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT. Wife/girlfriend gets the pleasure of knowing she is getting us exactly what we want. (We can act surprised because really we don't have any idea what she is getting us) and Rick gets more sales. Everything works. Win, win, win.
What do you think?

Now that really sucks. I get married next Saturday and I already talked my girlfriend into letting my sailing friends buy us gift certificates from West Marine. I want to buy an EPIRB for an upcoming trip to the Bahamas.

The ability to buy gift certificates online would be another addition you could make.

Sorry. But heck, at least you can look forward to taking pictures during the honeymoon and get on the cover of the newly proposed swimsuit edition!


Congratulations and good luck.

I want a Catamaran Sailor T shirt- but I can't find one in their store- and maybe meet some other sailors who live nearby. Other sites have a t-shirt - I want to promote this great forum and store!

How about something like this from the FORD mustang website, but with catamarans.
