U.S. Flag Size

[Calif. Ted]

Should be large enough to say "We're not REALLY racing, but I'm passing"

Making a statement!!! Sometimes logical proportions don't matter.

Hells Yeah!

And way down Mexico-way, they fly their flag large and high on the Mexican sail training ship (some unpronouncable meso-american name). She's yar. Walk her decks if she makes a port-stop near you, the crew are a great bunch of sailors!

Use whatever size YOU like, not what anyone else says you SHOULD use.

Personally I think that old rule of thumb that specifies 1" of flag length for every foot of boat length results in an ensign that looks puny in proportion, except on very large boats.

I have a 18" x 27" ensign on my 19' catboat, and that looks in proportion to me.

You just need a bigger flag staff!
