Cornish Ensign?

[jamesjermain]

What is the panel's view of this ensign?

 

[FWB]

I've always liked it. More here

We have a perfectly good red ensign. If it is desired to "tip one's hat" to the locality then use a burgee.

 

[john_morris_uk]

My heart sinks when I see people flying/wearing(?) such a device. Fly the Red Ensign with pride and a burgee to show your county/regional association.

 

[capnsensible]

Discourtesy flag.

 

[Slow_boat]

Pretty but not as pretty as the Devon flag.

Illegal as an ensign.

I think it's appalling ..... and I'm Cornish!
Why do they think they're special? I live in Berkshire now ... is there a Berkshire ensign? What a load of nonsense!

 

[AIDY]

And the one for devon !

So what colour ensign shall we fly in the solent ?

 

[MoodySabre]

Illegal, insular and prattish.

All Brown....to represent the colour of the water....defaced with a fleet of racing yachts.

Solent must be light blue with a white border - like a motorway sign /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[oleander2]

Excellent idea. Perhaps somebody might come up with an ensign for Dorset.

 

[steve_cronin]

Nice enough flag but...

...why would you want to wear one on the ensign staff?

It doesn't mean anything; it isn't a National Maritime Colour.

They went to a lot of trouble to come up with one for Lincolnshire , pointless as it happens because nobody flies it

Cornish ensign is a pasty on clotted cream background!

But that one is just shite!

 

[Slow_boat]

I don't think it's an ugly flag, just that the Devon flag is prettier but neither should be used as an ensign because they are illega and, in theory, any British registered vessel wearing one as an ensign could be seizedand the master imprisoned.

 

[sailbadthesinner]

As it has no real legitimacy trying to look official seems a bit pointless
I'd go with the pasty and clotted cream
or howabout a yokel with a big chip on his shoulder?

it all rather depends if it is meant as a bit of fun or is a all part of this regional assembly nonsense

 

[bumblefish]

Or a blue ensign?

 

[Yardarm]

I've sailed in the Blue Cup in Greece with a boatful of Cornish people who love to fly their battleflag at the end of a day's racing. The skipper's missus is Norwegian!

As other posts it is not proper as shown, in my opinion it shows ignorance.

I consider my boat to be Cornish. It is at present based in Plymouth, I do sometimes fly a Devon flag at the port spreaders, but now I read that the border of Devon/Cornwall is the Easter river bank of the Tamar, not centre as i thought.

I dont see anything wrong with this use of the Devon flag. As I progress East I may fly the shown "cornish ensign" on port side
