I\'m wearing out!

Down on the boat yesterday, looked at my forum flag. It's wearing out, after about 500nm flapping in the breeze it's getting quite tatty at the pointy end.

Probably need a new one next year, anyone else the same? Haydn, get ready for some more orders next year.

Mines done at least 1500nm and is still flying, been on there since Haydn delivered it! It's still in fine fettle.

Mines the same, the fabrics fraying all over the place and its done less mileage. Do they come with a speed restriction. Its only ever done 30 knots at most and averages 20.

OK, to hell with it. Unbolt it and we'll use it as an anchor!
