Charles,

I know you'll ultimately have to make up your own mind, but I like #3 with
the blue background & the red arrowhead.  Fairly simple, & looks like it
would be easy to read at a distance.

Re: website enhancements, thank you Max for all the diagrams, & thank you
Charles for posting them! this is terrific!!  Rory & I made contact with
Catalina trying to get some of these when we bought our boat but no dice, &
haven't had the time to try again.  This will be a huge help!

> Charles, looking good, I agree with the three color options, how about
number 5 with the red arrows on the perimeter in blue?  I think that with
UV the colors may fade rather quickly and with more white it makes the
other colors stand out IMHO.    If you need someone to make them there is a
lady in Seattle that makes burgees and flags, she just made our battle flag
for us and it was very reasonable, she also makes lots of yachty flags for
the local chandleries.
