Forestay Flags

£19.00 ex. VAT

Our custom forestay flags are designed specifically for use on sailing vessels, providing a bold, vertical branding solution that delivers maximum visibility at sea, in harbours, and during sailing events. Commonly used for sponsorship, advertising, or identification, forestay flags are an effective way to display logos and messages along the length of a yacht’s rigging.

Each forestay flag is custom made to your design, size, and vessel requirements, ensuring a precise fit and correct finish for the rigging setup. Because rigging configurations vary between boats, we offer a range of finishing options and work closely with you to ensure the flag performs correctly and safely while sailing.

Printed in-house by experienced sail and flag makers, our forestay flags use durable, lightweight fabrics and high-quality dye-sublimation printing to produce vibrant colour, sharp detail, and excellent performance in marine conditions.

Forestay Flags

We custom-make forestay flags to your design and required finish. Flags can be finished in a number of ways, according to the rigging on the vessel. Please discuss this with us at the time of enquiry. This will help us provide a price with the exact finishing you need.

Helpful Team

Our team is helpful and friendly, making sure you have people who can guide you through the whole ordering process with ease. We also have a sailing crew available, for example, if you need anything unusual.

No minimum order

There is no minimum order, so if you just need one, that is absolutely fine. We can also make the flag to any size you need too.

Why do customers use Sailflags?

The regular feedback we receive from customers is the service we provide.

For example, we take care of the design and proofing as part of the service, at no charge.

This makes a big difference in ensuring the flags meet your requirements and standards.

Zero Risk Ordering

We do not confirm your order and payment until you are completely satisfied with the design, supplied in the form of jpeg or pdf artwork proofs. Payments can be made by card (over the phone) or BACS.
