Taylor Made US Yacht Ensign Flag 18x12 Nylon
Taylor Made US Yacht Ensign Flag 18x12 Nylon — Product description
Taylor Made's US Yacht Ensign gives your boat the traditional 13-star-and-anchor flag that recreational skippers have flown for generations. It's sewn from nylon at 18 inches by 12 inches, with two brass grommets ready to clip to a stern staff or run up a halyard.
The US Yacht Ensign is the flag you see flying off the stern of pleasure boats up and down the coast. Instead of the 50-star field, it carries the classic fouled anchor ringed by 13 stars in the blue canton, over the familiar red and white stripes. It's the traditional ensign for American recreational boats, and it just looks right on the water.
This one comes from Taylor Made, a name that's been building marine flags and boat gear for a long time. It measures 18 inches long by 12 inches high, a size that suits most small to mid-size boats without swamping a short flagstaff. The flag is sewn from nylon, so it sheds water, dries fast, and flies in a light breeze instead of hanging limp when it's wet.
Two brass grommets are set into the header. Brass won't rust the way plain steel does, so you can clip the flag to a stern staff or run it up a halyard and leave it flying through the season. Simple, classic, and built to take the sun and spray.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a US Yacht Ensign and a regular American flag?
The yacht ensign swaps the 50-star field for a fouled anchor circled by 13 stars, over the same red and white stripes. It's the traditional flag flown by American recreational boats.
What size is this flag?
It measures 18 inches long by 12 inches high. That size suits most small to mid-size boats and won't overwhelm a short stern staff.
What is the flag made of?
Nylon. It sheds water, dries quickly, and flies in a light wind instead of hanging limp when it's wet.
How does it attach to my boat?
Two brass grommets are set into the flag's header. You can clip it to a stern flagstaff or run it up a halyard.
