Specification BannerType : flag Brand : My Signal Flags BulletPoint1 : High quality construction; printed both sides. Nautical flags mostly take the forms of squares, though you’ll also see pendants, which are triangular with a flat tip. You’ll additionally see what’s called substitutes (alternately called repeaters), which are triangles. BulletPoint2 : Add fun color to your boat, front yard, porch or home. There are 26 square nautical flags, each representing a different letter of the alphabet. More accurately, each represents the international code word connected to the letters of the alphabet, such as Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and so on. In addition, there are 10 pendants for the numbers zero through nine. For the numbers 10 and larger, a boat would combine flags. BulletPoint3 : UV resistant material will last for years. The only colors you’ll find on nautical flags are black, blue, red, yellow, and white. These colors stand out quite well when seen with your own eyes on the horizon or through binoculars. Flags can be a solid color or a combination of colors, too. BulletPoint4 : Spell out your family's name in the signal flag alphabet. Depending on the intended message, boats fly one flag or up to seven flags in a row. For example, if you see the A (Alpha) flag, this means “diver down, keep clear.” If you see the W (Whiskey) flag, the boat has a medical emergency and needs help. The combination of the D (Delta) and V (Victor) flags, meanwhile, means “I’m maneuvering with difficulty and require assistance.” The J (Juliet) and L (Lima) flags mean “you’re running the risk of going aground.” BulletPoint5 : The prudent mariner knows not to fly flags in over 20kts of breeze! While boaters around the world use nautical flags to communicate common scenarios, particular situations call for their own language. Race committees combine flags to convey a race is four minutes from start, for example, or that a course has been shortened. The U.S. Navy groups together signals in ways known only to its personnel to communicate with its fellow ships.
