Taylor Made Products 8218 US Power Squadron Ensign Boat Flag, 12 Inch x 18 Inch, Nylon, Members Only

The Taylor Made Products 8218 is a 12 inch x 18 inch US Power Squadron Ensign, a sewn boat flag intended for use by members only. It is constructed from perma-print dyed nylon with a reinforced nylon heading, and features individually sewn stripes with embroidered stars for a durable, all-weather appearance rather than a simple printed graphic. The flag is finished with a four needle flyend and brass grommets for easy hanging and secure mounting on a boat staff or flagpole. Made in the USA, the nylon and polyester construction is lightweight yet fade resistant, holding up to sun and marine exposure over repeated use. Because it displays the US Power Squadron ensign design, this flag is intended for use by members of the organization rather than as a general-purpose boat flag. Care is simple: hand wash only to preserve the sewn stripes, embroidered stars, and colorfastness of the nylon fabric. At 12 inches by 18 inches, it suits smaller boats and staffs where a compact ensign is appropriate; larger sizes of the same design are offered as separate part numbers for bigger vessels.
