Coastie04 Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 I wish I were in CA. I've got a working knowledge of all manner of sailing vessels. The pin rail is easy enough to learn once aboard. As for the flag, a red background would be very nice. Have you thought of a design along these lines? Especially since you are not a commercial vessel, and therefore do not have to necessarily worry about offending others.
