Ensign (Flag sizing)
|
Richie Whyte
Evening to you all from a cold, wet and windy west of Ireland. We reflagged our SM2K on paper last year and now we want to put our actual flag on her. Amel provided a wooden flag pole to display the ensign but not being at the boat I can’t get the measurements of the current flag to order a replacement. Does anyone know off the top of their head the dimensions of the ensign suitable for the pole.

It could be any size. Different owners=different sizes. The rule established long ago by the British is 1 inch of length for each foot of LOA. Of course this is appropriate.

Bill is correct, but I have a yard and a half on my Santorin - 54” on a 46’ boat. It fits exactly on the Amel pole. Anything smaller is not quite proportional in my humble opinion. The practice of removing ensigns at sunset or 9.00 pm was established by Samuel Pepys as Secretary for the Royal Navy when he found out the annual cost of replacing worn out ones.
