Dressing overall: where to buy ready made flags

[NFCN]

Am due to dress overall next week. Not having done this, I would be grateful if anyone can point me in the direction of ready made signal flag sets, in the right order, suitable for my 33 footer. Any links greatly appreciated.

I would like some as well,but they are so expensive for an occasional use. The Chinese made about 200 million flags for the jubilee..it would be great if they made a string of dressing overall flags!

Probably not in the right order, but cheap enough: http://www.cottonbunting.co.uk/acatalog/Nautical_Flag_Bunting.html

And a nice graphic of the right order, if you need to rejig them: http://www.rbodclass.co.uk/dressing.php

I have a cheap string of flags... had them for eons.... not the "correct" order. Rather small, in fact so small that the string is not really long enough even for my 19ft boat.

Useful for decorating the club house but useless really for the boat.

Readily available from any decent chandlers for about £35. See Force 4 catalogue p149 - not the only supplier, just happen to have it to hand.

This one:

Pretty much the same as the one I have I think. Always been rather disappointed with it.

I reckon at the current prices its worth getting one of these proper sets esp if wanting to put them in the correct sequence and to be long enough to stretch from stem to masthead and down to stern

or http://www.force4.co.uk/9618/Force-4-International-Code-Flag-Set--30x45cm-.html (total length not specified) if you own a battleship

Thanks everyone. Was just wondering if anyone had spotted any ready made up, in the correct sequence, rather than in pockets? Can't find any online, but may have been looking in the wrong place.

Is having the correct sequence that important?

South Coast Flagpoles are good. They provide ready made up dressing lines (look for "Nautical Bunting" Don,t be put off by the name; they do flags as well) Based on the Isle of Wight
