Boatyard Pennants

[Ray]

Found aboard were 3 old but usable pennants, one is Volvo Penta but we have a Nanni engine.

The second is the original style Broom red star and crescent which is entirely appropriate and will be flown.

I don't know the third one which is where you knowledgeable folks come in please?

Could it actually be a Nanni one ?

[Ray]

That's a good idea, I'll google Nanni 👍

It seems not unless it's an old one. They currently have this mermaid in a stripy blue towel.

I can offer this

Swedish boat builder since 1968 apparently. Identical but colours reversed (Or maybe your pic is upside down ?!). Might be worth asking them if the colours were ever the other way around, might be worth something to them !

That's it! You also hit the nail on the head, my photo is upside down, although I didn't realise at the time 🙂

I wonder why the previous owner flew that one, it's quite possible I guess that with 3 pennant poles it was simply bought at boat shows/jumbles over the years. It has faded significantly so I'll retire it as part of the boat's history.

So with 3 pennant poles , that’s the Broom pennant , the NBN pennant and an RNLI one then

I knew the previous owners, who told me that their previous boat was a Nimbus.  Odd that they still flew it on their Broom, though.

Don't forget, the Nimbus 2000 was a pretty famous Broom
