Just how important is flag etiquette in the Caribbean. The boat I bought there has some of the courtesy flags for hanging in the spreaders for each island, but is missing somewhere near $200 worth for our intended landfalls.

Who notices these? When I have been visiting the Caribbean, I see them missing from many boats.

Anybody have a cheaper source for these? Many have details difficult to sew or make.

I hate to make good manners an economic issue, but outfitting is sucking up the kitty.

Give me comments or give me hell, guys.
