Easy, GW, may want to brush up on copyrights. I used to own a V-20 and was a regularly contributing member. I did all the design work and took on the shirt projects to support the site and online community. None of it was commissioned, I didn't release it or surrender rights to it, and it's been my intellectual property since. By gentlemen's agreement (and it's probably in a ToS somewhere) as a site member and supporter, I've given use of it and all my designs freely to the owners and administrators. Sorry to fire back, but that was a shot across my bow to bring up ownership and suggest I'm witholding something that isn't mine.


So anyway, ahoy gents. I truly feel bad that I haven't been able to do anything with this. On top of everything else keeping me from working on it, I'm now coaching my daughter's all-star softball team and we are on the verge of going to the state tournament and have a good shot at getting to the regional tournament. I'm pretty sure I'll fall even further behind, so I'm going to step out of this project and here's what I'll do. As response to the 3-boat design has been as good as any, I will send this graphics file to Joe and Oz' to forward as needed to make the anniversary t-shirt design. You're free to edit and add elements and source the printing elsewhere so you can get these done. Sorry for gumming up the works. I wanted to do the design and printing because I think that would've increased any margin that could be kicked back to the site to keep the lights on, but certainly didn't intend to delay the process. Hopefully doing this will get you back on track to have a successful sale.

Thanks,
Ches'
