Ensign use

[Otter]

I just looked that one up - its great, something slightly piratical about it. I'm going to get one.

I fly my Cornish ensign from my port spreader with pride.

And indeed there is no reason why you should not. Although to be pednatic one is flying a Cornish house flag since by definition an ensign is a flag flown in the senior position

See why people's reaction to flags is so great ^^^

I believe the penalty is seizure of the offending flag, there may be a fine as well

Never ever heard of it being enforced though

Think a RN Officer can seize any ensign if there is no suitable warrant to support it. Maybe I should put my uniform on the boat!

I warrant your uniform will be too small for the boat.
No comment on whether it is too small for you as well.

Vancouver 27s have loads of storage space. No worries on either count.

Blazer and uniform - sounds like overkill to me

We have a red, home made funny white and an undefaced blue and fly them in a rotation based on an algorithm computed using the two factors of what colour my daughters like that day and which came out of the cupboard first. On very special days we fly the flag of the Vatican navy. I love flags, I love people's reaction to them even more.

love it. My dad is a member of the Vatican YC and gave me a burgee as a boat-warming gift.

On ensigns, I don't bother in the rivers.

 

[sailorman]

So with that flying you can do no wrong :encouragement:

There, that's better.

I like the way the French, and some other Europeans, fly their country's ensign but add a regional flag in the cross trees.Given current events we should follow the example be it Scotland, England, Cornwall...

But we British are different. We don't do things that way but prefer arguing about it.

Oh no we dont

 

[Mariner69]

Oh yes we do.

Without the ensign aren't you racing?

 

[sailorman]

Oh yes we do.

Fixed that

My philosophy is, When in Rome do as the Romans do.

Also the philosophy of those flying the Vatican Flag obviously.
