Gifts for Boaters

Nautical alphabet flags are the maritime way to spell out your name, a special date, favorite phrase, or even your latitude/longitude. Maritime signal flag letters were used for ships to communicate to other ships, or to shore.  A series of nautical alphabet flags can spell out a message, each flag representing a letter. Each poly-blend 10" x 15" nautical letter flag is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Makes a perfect flag letter for boats. Features a high quality double stitch construction, plus wooden toggle buttons and cordage loop (approximately 1" on each side) to make it easy to string together and hang your creation. To spell out your latitude/longitude select the "L" signal flag for Latitude and follow it with 2 digits for the degrees (you can also add 2 more digits to denote minutes). Select the "G" signal flag for Longitude and follow it with 2-3 digits to denote degree, with the optional last 2 digits denoting minutes.
