What Are Signal Code Flags?
Signal flags are part of the International Code of Signals (ICS). This is a globally recognised system used by vessels to send messages to each other at sea.
Each flag has a specific meaning when flown individually, and can be combined with others to spell out words or codes.
They’re essential for:
- Yacht racing – used to indicate class, instructions or starting sequences
- Safety signalling – such as distress, medical assistance or manoeuvring
- General communication – spelling out names or messages between vessels
Ideal for both recreational sailors and competitive skippers, our boat flags are easy to hoist and clearly visible at sea
