Sailboat battle Flags
The latest rage on the Racing/Cruising circuit is the Campaign or "Battle
Flag". With a colorful, well-chosen image, it makes a bold statement
fluttering to the starting line or comfortably cruising in your favorite
area.
The battle flag generally flies on the forestay. It is a large, rectangular
battle flag with a 28 degree slant cut in the forward edge. This allows it to
fly straight back when hoisted on the angled forestay. We attach a number
6 luff tape to the forward edge so that it will feed into the jib track
system although it may fly independently. Because it is substantially
larger than a personal pennant, you can opt for a more detailed choice
of logo for your battle flag.
A powerful (warlike) image such as a mythical creature, or a funny cartoon
character
works well on a battle flag. Be creative! By all means avoid "words"
for your main battle flag design which will require a heavy double thick flag to reverse
the lettering.
See Icon page for suggested designs. If you already have your logo, e-mail
it as a jpeg image. We offer free design assistance.
