Taylor Made Products US Yacht Ensign Sewn Boat Flag, 12 Inch x 18 Inch, Nylon

The Taylor Made Products US Yacht Ensign (part number 8118) is a 12 inch x 18 inch sewn American boat flag designed for all-weather display aboard yachts and powerboats. 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.

This 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.
