I bought it three years ago as a wreck and spent a year on a full refurb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I have been thinking a bit about house flags. In flag etiquette, the burgee of a yacht club to which you belong may be considered as your house flag, especially when flown at the masthead. So I guess that would apply to the NBN pennant, as well?

JennyMorgan Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I would have thought so but house flags are normally rectangular, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Rectangular if you wear it on the bow as a "jack" and also as a racing flag on a yacht, otherwise, not necessarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Ahh, You're talking about the "I'm all right angled Jack". Yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 It can also be worn at a "rakish angle" which I have a feeling you might prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L8DAVE Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I can see where confusion about flags and ensigns could arise ....... I was always led to believe , rightly or wrongly , that the Red Ensign was flown by ex-Merchant Navy seamen , and the White by ex-Royal Navy ...... I stand corrected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
