| Which Size Flag & Flagstaff Will You Need? |
Flagstaff - The length of your flagstaff depends on the size of the flag, which in turn depends on the length of the boat!
Ensigns - The horizontal measurement of a flag is know as the Fly and the vertical measurement is know as the Hoist.
An old rule for sizing Ensigns is to allow 1" of the Fly for every foot of boat. Ensigns are usually measured across the diagonal.
Here is our guide loosley based on the old rule!
