Prep Essentials: Nautical Flags

Since sailing is an extremely prep sport/hobby/past-time; whichever it is to you, it is important to know the flags on the sailboat. Whether or not you actually know how to sail or own your own boat, odds are you will be asked aboard someone's at some point. So, study up these flags if you want to blend in better. There will be a quiz later. And, I'll be honest, I don't have all these flags memorized, either.

At least learn to spell your name for your needlepoint belt.
