If you have ever put to sea wondering about the different types of flag, how they are made up, and the dos and don’ts as well as traditions and myths of flying flags then this will be both a fascinating read and a useful on-board guide.

Review :
A great little guide... Reeds Maritime Flag Handbook makes for fascinating reading and would serve as a handy reference on the bridge of any vessel. A cheerful and colourful little book intended to provide crews of yachts, motorboats and other small craft, with a ready reference. A concise useful reference tool to have to hand when cruising. There is a difference, for instance, between the use of flags on land, and on sea. Curious? Well, read the book! ... It is a comprehensive little reference book; very useful to have aboard.
