CambridgeCabby Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 As title says we are trying to buy a RNLI burgee if any one either has one for sale or if they know where we can source one please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I usually get the phone number from the shop web site and order over the phone. I usually order what is called a hoist flag - small triangular, it' s small enough not to flap against the bow rail so doesn't wear out so quickly.

ChrisB Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Happisburgh RNLI shop had some 2 days ago. The lifeboat station and shop, is, and has been for quite a long time at Cart Gap opposite the NNDC car park due to the loss of the old slipway via erosion. Smallsticks cafe (named after the way the land was carved up in the past there) is well worth a visit, they go a really quite presentable cream tea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I was talking to a Happisburgh helper this morning who was on his way to their summer fete. I mentioned burgees and he said that they got some stock and cleared them via Norfolk Broads Forums. So what I saw a few days ago in their packets are not burgees but the small staff flag which is about 16ins X 8ins. In other words the top one Not the bottom one. Sorry if I have misled you..

JennyMorgan Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 You are not looking hard enough! Try Southwold RNLI, if a house flag rather than a burgee wll do. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RNLI-ensign-flag-/272795169692?hash=item3f83dbf39c:g:qeoAAOSw44BYMbO5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 They (Happisburgh) still had half a dozen flags last Sunday, but the much smaller triangular burgees were snapped up last year. There is quite a difference in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
