Ensign Size

no no

We need large ensigns when sailing within our country, or else we will be adressed in German by locks and marina staff........

Re: no no

Surely all you have to do is say: "Scheveningen".

Anyone would immediately know that you were not German and welcome you with open arms.

Re: no no

in general, you maybe right

but don't forget, being less tightfisted, the Germans are occasionally the perferred choice as customers...

Re: no no

Of course they are.
But still, being in my native country I do not like to be adressed in German by the Lemmer Lockkeeper in or to be handed the Lelystad marina regs leaflet in German where I do fly a Dutch ensign of quite visible proportions.
Sounds like a joke..... but it really happened to me...hated it.

Surely..

But then I'm not sure in what language they would ask me to do this...
