Read Force 4 Chandlery Reviews

Fly the Red Ensign in traditional style with our Sewn Red Ensigns. Made from premium UV-resistant nylon wool bunting, these ensigns are carefully crafted in the EU to Force 4’s specification. Each flag is individually sewn, giving it extra weight and strength. This not only makes it more durable but also ensures it flies beautifully at sea. With proper care, these sewn ensigns will last for years, offering superb quality and a smart finish compared to lighter printed versions. Key Features Premium nylon wool bunting - Strong, UV-resistant material designed for long life and excellent colour retention at sea. Traditional roped and toggled finish - Fitted with rope and a toggle for secure attachment to your halyard. Expert EU manufacture - Made by our trusted European flag maker to Force 4’s high standards. Individually sewn construction - Each panel is stitched together, giving extra weight for a classic look and better flight. Range of sizes available - Choose the size that best matches your vessel and flag staff. What Size Ensign Do I Need? There’s no strict rule when it comes to ensign size. The key is to choose a flag that looks in proportion to your boat and fits your flag staff. Here are some guidelines to help you select the right size: ¾ Yard (69 x 40cm) - For boats up to 26ft / 8m 1 Yard (91 x 45cm) - For boats 27-34ft / 8-10m 1¼ Yard (114 x 57cm) - For boats 35-42ft / 10-13m 1½ Yard (137 x 68cm) - For boats 43-50ft / 13-15m 2 Yard (183 x 91cm) - For boats over 51ft / 15m Sewn vs Printed Ensigns We offer both types of Red Ensign: Sewn Ensigns (this product) - Stronger, heavier and more traditional. Longer lasting, with a classic stitched design that flies beautifully. Printed Ensigns - Lightweight, durable and excellent value. Easier on the budget but not as heavy or traditional looking. If you’d prefer a printed version of the Red Ensign, See Part Number M890023 - Printed Red Enisigns

Actually I bought a 1 yard flag which is fine for a 36’ boat. Last one is floating in the Minch somewhere. Traditional quality flag.

Quality flag excessive carriage cost bears no relationship to weight or 'real' cost of shipping.

Hi there, thank you for the feedback. You're right, physically the item can be sent on a Royal Mail service for the lower tier of £2.95. However due to the value of the product it creeps over the £50 compensation threshold, so we have to send it via courier, and hence the higher charge. We'll speak to our Royal Mail account manager and see if we can up the compensation threshold. Thanks again for the review.
