Customized Boat Flags
FAQ

Custom boat flags questions, answered.

Everything buyers ask before they order — minimums, timings, artwork and print options.

What is the minimum order?

Our minimum order is just 12 flags — enough for a small club or one boat’s set — with bulk tiers that drop steeply at the quantities a fleet or a regatta needs.

How fast will my flags arrive?

Your free mockup lands within 24 hours and finished flags ship in about 2 weeks. Express turnaround is available when a regatta or a season start is already fixed.

What size flag does my boat need?

Convention is roughly one inch of fly per foot of overall length for an ensign-sized flag, and about half an inch per foot for a burgee. Tell us the boat length and we will size it rather than guessing.

Why do flags always fail at the same end?

Because the hoist edge is held and the fly edge is free, so it flogs thousands of times an hour. Four rows of stitching at the fly and a reinforced corner patch is what decides whether that takes a season or a fortnight.

Nylon or polyester?

Nylon flies in very little air, which is what you want in a marina or light coastal breeze. Polyester needs real wind and lasts several times longer offshore or on a race set in constant use.

Do you print national flags or ensigns?

No. Those are standardised and governed by usage conventions, and a made-to-order version is worse than none. We make club burgees, owner flags, race and event flags — and we will tell you where to buy the other kind properly.

Does the design read correctly on both sides?

Yes. We print so it reads correctly from either side rather than leaving one mirrored, which matters on anything carrying a name or lettering.

Do you redraw artwork?

Yes, free. A flag is read at distance, moving, usually against a bright sky. We redraw for that — heavier letterforms, fewer words, real contrast — and show you the original alongside it.
