Courtesy flag stowage

[samwise]

On our previous boat we had one of those neat and useful mini pigeonhole racks in which you can stow a number of courtesy flags. Our new boat doesn't have one and we can't find anyone who sells them. Plastimo, Mailspeed et al all failed to turn anything up. Even those teak specialists at Southampton Boat show didn't have one. The last time I saw one for sale was in the marina chandlery at Breskens. We had the old boat then of course and didn't need one! Any pointers to a UK source?

Not a UK source, but no problem getting it shipped here. See here for details.

Just because you cruise in Europe doesn't mean everyone else does /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
You've been around on the forums long enough to know that by now

... ... but you are still bound by International Law to fly the appropriate courtesy flag!

Which Law is that?

I suspect that the pigeon hole racks were originally made for a set of International Code flags, not courtesy ensigns.

Remember, the EU piece of cloth is NOT an ensign. It can be flown but may not be worn!
