2 weeks and counting! Jeff, what are you going to use as criteria for your photo selection process? I've looked at your photo album and have seen some incredibly nice Whalers.....it seems like it would be a tough job selecting the right ones for the calendar.
Have a great day!

Cliff as stated before I am mostly looking for image clarity, composition, and content of the photo. I am going to have two friends who I shot photography with help with the selection progress. Niether are real boaters but both have a good eye for a good image.
BTW While looking through the images tonight I noticed there are some hulls that are missing representation. It would be great to get some Sakonnets, Eastports, and Nausets as we have no images of them. Anyone has an image they would like to submit? It is no long limited to 3 images so send away.

Thanks to all who have sent in their images. At this time I will begin choosing the images for each month as well as the cover and begin lay-out. I am going to have a couple friends who I shoot photography with help in the selection process. They will be good judges who can offer no bias opinions. Also, thanks to those who have added comments to the images. If anyone one else would like to weigh in on the images please feel free to do so.
I hope to have the calender up for purchase by Dec first as well as some new designs for the shirts. I have a 21 rib side and a 13 sport finished. I hope to have a Revenge W/T done as well as a post classic 170 Montauk.

All,
The calendars are out, for sale and ready to ship! Thanks to all that submitted images and of course like always not all of them were able to make it. I had myself and 3 other people (all non whaler board members) help in the selection process. Here are the winners:
January – John Martin
Febuary – Con and Martha Belfour
March – Kevin Schwoob
April – Denny Matsko
May – James McPadden
June – Wayne Baker
July – Carson Perry
August – David Thickens
September – Jason Goldfarb
October – Joe Morgan
November – Don McIntyre
December – Tony Wilde shot by Warren Tom
And the Cover goes to…….
David Thickens. The shot of his 22 Outrage in Split Rock Harbor is truly a site. Everyone of my judges selected it as their favorite. For this honor David, you let me know what you want from the shop for free and I will get it to you.
Also,
I have to greatly thank Traci Davis from Whaler. She was a great help in getting me logos as well as all approvals needed to use the logos. Thanks Traci! It is because of people like you that Whaler is the brand it is.
The calendars are $15.99 and my cost is $14.99. I added 50 cents per calendar to cover a couple miscellaneous costs. The other 50 cents I plan to donate to a cause that is boating or fishing related. Just wanted to be up front on that.
Here is the Calendar:

Home Site where you can purchase it.

Finally,
I have added designs of the classic 13 sport and 21 ribside to the collection of wearables. I still have more to add so stop back.

It looks that great.
Thanks for the great efforts.

All,
Thanks for kinds words and orders. Also, cafepress just sent me a coupon code today for the store. If you place an order for over $50 just the code "NEWLOOK" to get $5 off. A little late for some I know but, thought I would pass it long anyway.

Jeff, you have done an awesome job ! Thanks for your efforts.
With that being said may I just point out the followlng......in the not so distant past I felt very comfortable on this site, but for reasons I can't identify nor pinpoint currently I do not ! The technologically advanced software that is presented here is welcomeing but seems to come with limits. I participate in many other online forums with simular programs without feeling like I do Here. I respect the owner for what he does and has accomplished, but since the new upgrades here I see fewer posts......am I alone in these feeling?
Joe I'm not attacking you....what can we do to help ? Do we need to gather $$ for a better server ? I'm sure there are many here that will help with any hardware you may need.
Whaler Central, keep up thr good work......but I miss the fun that was here not so long ago, Jim

Jim. I thinks it's just a phase folks are going through with the faultering economy etc. Since many people don't have much $$, they are more focused on survival than on chatting online. Personally I don't think it has anything to do with the new server or outlay of the website. The fun will be back in February/March timeframe when we all start to get that cabin fever again.....just itching to get our boats back in the water and making more memories.

Jim,
Can you elaborate more.
Are there problems with the server?
As far as we know there are no known problems with our site or the server.
Everything is much faster than it used to be with NO errors that we have seen.
At this time we have not seen any problems with our site. If there is, please let us know.
Thanks
