I've been searching for a complete set of signal flags, for dressing
ship, in size #2 (about 18x24 in.). Anyone know of a good source that
is reasonably priced? Signal flag sets seem to be outrageously expensive...

Re:Signal Flags?
Captain Commanding Tanqueray,
You could of course use your entire set of International Code Signal Flags to "dress ship", but why would you want to when you can fly ANY set of flags you can get, including Maggies drawers! As Doug states, I believe you can also purchase a set of random flags to "dress ship" with. Oh, and if you do use the entire ICS set, there is a sequence in which they are to be displayed. But, that is for another post....I remain Sir, your most HUMBLE servant...........

Re: West Marine Signal Flag set is small
>>The West Marine set is small maybe 12 X 14 inches (??)<<
West Marine has larger flags, too, in the catalog, as I remember. Not cheap, though.

The sequence, they say, is designed to mix the colors correctly and give a nice display. But in fact, it was to discourage the signalmen from inserting personal messages, especially those referring to the admiral.

Re: Sources for Signal Flags?
Christine Davis flags (www.christinedavisflags.com) advertises in sailing magazines, but her web site appears to be DOA. They will send a catalog if you email or call them.
Better yet, go to http://www.marinewaypoints.com/gear/flags.shtml for listings of a number of flag/burgee makers.
