The U.S. Yacht Ensign flag has long been a favorite of sailboat and powerboat owners alike. The design is similar to the Betsy Ross flag except that an anchor with a length of coiling rope appears in the center of the circle of thirteen stars and like the Betsy Ross flag, the U.S. Yacht Ensign has it’s roots deep in American history.

The U.S. Yacht Ensign was first used in 1848 and was technically not an ensign, but a signal flag. With the growing numbers of vessels in U.S. waters, the flag was to be used by private yachts so they could avoid a visit to the customs house when sailing into a port. But it didn’t take long for boat owners to begin to use the flag as an ensign and the government granted support for the practice.

Flagstuff.com owner Tom Pitts wants to put a U.S. Yacht Ensign into the hands of every boat owner. “Since the United States Yacht Ensign is technically an American flag, It’s a great way for boat owners to show their patriotism while maintaining the nautical theme,” says Pitts. “We offer top quality Annin flags at a very competitive price to make it easier for boat owners to have one.”
