J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Class Flags

We're making a set of class flags. If you are interested in a flag, please let me know:

Yes please! If possible, I would like to get blue letters on white background like this:


or the inverse color scheme. Thanks David and let me know what the cost is.

I would love one. Blue with white lettering if we can specify.

I would love to have one as well
Blue with white or red as the picture

I'll take one as well. Blue/white preferred

One for me, blue and white also please.

seaBusiness would like one. Preference is Blue letter on white background.

Thanks,
Jon

A silly question, would it make sense for all fleet captains to pick a standard color. As in the photo provided, all Gulf Coast flags are the same color. It looks very nice when you have several flags flying together of the same color.

Let me know thoughts.

David, I would like one as well and I prefer the Red with white . Thanks

I would like on too

Velocity Girl #278

Vee Jay colors ... I'm in.

It looks like this original post is quite old, but if someone is putting together a flag purchase, definitely count me in!

I went to buy an individual flag recently and was shocked at the price for a one-off.

Just an update - Dave Erwin & I are looking at the cost and availability to get some made. Our source has been contacted. We'll follow up here once we know more on price, color options, delivery schedule, how to order.....

Count me in! Blue and White, please.

Count me as interested but non-committal until I know the cost. Blue on white would be my preference too. But any combination of red or blue would work.

Count me in! Blue and White, please.

Me 3. red on white if you can.

I'll take one as well. Blue/white preferred

Thank you. Let me know how to pay.

We're getting closer to making the class flag offering a reality. Dave Erwin and I are following up with a "qualified flag supplier". We want to confirm the following or change as appropriate. If somebody has a class flag who would measure and verify the information it would be helpful. Please post here to confirm or modify the information as appropriate.

Class Flag "Specs"

• Material - Marine Grade Nylon (fade resistant and water repellent)
• Color - solid background White, Blue, Red or Green with J/30 Logo in any of the same colors contrasting the background.
• Dimensions: 30 inches tall, x 24 inches wide
• All edges folded over and sewn, or heat sealed to prevent fraying
• Edge by halyard reinforced and either grommets or sewn in loops top and bottom for halyard attachment

Also - is there any interest in a larger class flag - say 5 feet x 3 feet to hoist up the flag pole at YC for events?

Wow - no response LOL We need a quick measurement.

Cheers,
Dave

I used to have a J flag, but I remember it was bigger than 2 ft wide ... with the luff cut at a diagonal so it flew straight off the forestay. 30 x 24 30 ft off water isn't really a major statement. US flags minimum to look OK are 3x5 ft.

So if we fly it at spreader level ... say under power I wonder how much width it would take to still be clear of the mast?

And I think it used a #6 luff tape to slide into foil
as one of those pictured seem to be.

[this was before I got roller furling ... so I wouldn't opt for the luff tape with a furler, but it does fly a lot better locked into the foil.]

I would like a flag. Blue on white would be OK.

Ok - Narrowing down standard size and most popular colors. Based on responses so for the following looks to be the most popular colors:

• Blue letters on White (Overwhelming favorite)
• Red letters on White
• White letters on Red
• White letters on Blue

We'd have these colors "stocked" and others by special order (longer lead time and probably a little more expensive for special order)

Two styles have been suggested.

• Free Flying Rectangle approx 30" tall x 24" wide
• Headfoil Attached Parallelogram with #5 luff tape that is approximately 65" along the luff, 28" width at top, 61" along the leach, and 47" along the foot.

What are peoples preferences on size and style of attachment?

We are investigating whether these would be ordered through the J/30 Class, or work with a supplier who you order from directly. If the latter, there may be more flexibility to buy other J/30 logo stuff too.

Bill:

I'll take one of the free-flying ones. Blue letters on white, please.

Thanks.

Bob Rude

I would like a flag also. Blue/white.

LUMPY

I like the Headfoil Attached Parallelogram.

I also like the Headfoil using the #5 Luff Tape.

free-Flying rectangle blue letters on white / or white on blue

free flying with blue and white, either way

I am hoping that these are the flags that we are looking for:
Two options
Red nylon background with white lettering
Blue nylon background with white lettering.
