It is constructed from lightweight yet durable fade resistant nylon fabric, with individually sewn stripes and embroidered stars rather than printed graphics, giving it a richer look and longer service life in sun and salt air. The flyend is finished with four-needle stitching for added durability against fraying, and the hoist side is fitted with brass grommets for easy, secure mounting to a flagstaff or halyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ensign is designed for boaters who want a traditional, long-lasting flag rather than a lightweight screen-printed alternative. Its compact 12 inch x 18 inch size makes it well suited to smaller boats, bow staffs, and stern rails where a full-size flag would be impractical. The flag folds for easy storage and is intended for hand washing only to preserve the sewn construction and colorfastness. It is part of Taylor Made's sewn flag line, which is also offered in larger sizes for bigger vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor Made Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8118\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inches x 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individually sewn stripes and embroidered stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlyend:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four-needle flyend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrommets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass grommets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grommet hang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-colored (red, white, and blue stars and stripes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fade resistant, foldable, lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 040011951182\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Taylor Made Products US Yacht Ensign, part number 8118?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 8118 measures 12 inches x 18 inches, making it suited to smaller boats, bow staffs, and stern rails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is this boat flag made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 8118 US Yacht Ensign is made from lightweight yet durable fade resistant nylon fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the stripes and stars printed or sewn?\u003c\/strong\u003e They are individually sewn stripes with embroidered stars, not screen printed, which is why this flag is classified as a sewn ensign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the flag attached to a flagstaff or halyard?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 8118 ensign has brass grommets on the hoist side for grommet-style hanging on a staff or halyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this flag hold up to sun and salt water exposure?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the nylon fabric used in the Taylor Made Products 8118 ensign is fade resistant and built for all-weather marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does four-needle flyend mean and why does it matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e The flyend of the 8118 flag is finished with four-needle stitching, which reinforces the outer edge against fraying from wind and repeated use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I clean this flag?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 8118 is labeled hand wash only to protect the sewn stripes, embroidered stars, and fade resistant colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this flag weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Taylor Made Products US Yacht Ensign, part number 8118, weighs 0.31 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this flag come in larger sizes for bigger boats?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 12 inch x 18 inch 8118 is the smallest size in Taylor Made's sewn US Yacht Ensign line, which is offered in larger dimensions as separate part numbers for bigger vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Taylor Made Products flag?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, part number 8118 is a genuine Taylor Made Products sewn US Yacht Ensign, not a generic or printed substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colors are on this flag?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 8118 US Yacht Ensign displays the traditional red, white, and blue stars and stripes pattern of the American flag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor Made Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989675978971,"sku":"NAT-8118","price":19.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/61QLruQSkfL.jpg?v=1784487165","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/taylor-made-8118-us-yacht-ensign-sewn-boat-flag-12-x-18-nylon","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
