A pile of nice vintage boat hats |
Well, we now have about 10 hat pins in from scouring eBay and other places. They are the finishing touch to your classic boat hat. If you go the route of a gold bouillon on your hat they look fantastic, but if you are going the patch route its a no go. Here is a sample of what they look like.

Each pin has its own character and represents its home. This one Mastic Beach |

How they attach to your hat. |
Tough crowd Matt. They are tired of the contest, get mean with each other with controversy, request hats and yet when you give them what they want you can hear a pin drop in WoodyBoatVille.
Years ago Palisades Yacht Club (the marina that I'm in) had such a pin that represented membership. I'm in search of one of them. It had the letters PYC in white on a blue background.
Any plans to have a WoodyBoater one made?
I can only imagine the reader outrage when we run the story about a vintage 1935 Seattle Ferry Boat on Thursday morning…
I have mine! Copacabana Yacht Club, Cuba from e-Bay! It will go nicely with my un-opened bottle of pre Castro rum!

Hey WoodyGal – I would love to see a photo of that Copacabana Yacht Club pin. I wonder how hard they are to get? If you have a photo, please send it to Texx@Woodyboater.com
Thanks!
Interested in purchasing a hat pin for my hatch hat I purchased from you several years ago. Being from Michigan a DYC or GPYC.
