Never used a signal flag except the Yellow one.

The days of the other signals flags have probably passed with the exception of the blue/white..Diver Down..

And the red/white diver flag, and uh, my Norwegian flag up the Starboard spreader and the US one the tail.

Plus the SSCA Navy Blue Burgee

5 or 6 flags total...8 years cruising and counting.

Go slow in the beginning, then if ya get into a cruising frenzy and need to cover nations faster that ya can buy flags...Uh, make up some cardboard ones as ya go....D

Anyway, flags have been the smallest problems of cruising.
Weather, anchoring, crew, economy, etc have been higher up on the list.
