boat flag

So you thought the ship was expensive! Wait until you start buying all the "necessary" gear you need to be safe and also to enjoy on the boat to the maximum.

So, first things first. This is what the U.S. Coast Guard says you must have for all boats

* One type of Coast Guard approved life jacket must be on board each person on the boat. For boats 16 'but less than 65' also a kind V, type Throwable PFD.

* An emergency lighting or combination of three (day / night) red flares when operating between sunset and output sun. For boats 16 'but less than 65' also an orange distress flag and the choice of an electric light relief, or three hand-held or floating signal orange smoke and a light electrical hazards, or combination of three (day / night) red flares: hand-held, meteor or parachute.

* A Marine Type USCG BI fire extinguisher for boats 16 ', but under 26. And 26 to under 40, a Marine USCG Type B-II or two BI extinguishers if the boat has an inboard engine, enclosed compartments where fuel or flammable and combustible materials are store, closed living spaces, or fuel storage tanks permanently. A fixed is equal to one BI. For boats 40 'but less than 65' A Marine Type USCG BI BI extinguishers or three. A fixed system equals One BI or two B-II, if the above conditions exist.

* If your boat was built after 25 April 1940 and used gasoline in an engine compartment or closed fuel tank must have natural ventilation. If built after July 31, 1980 must have an exhaust fan.

* One way enough to make a ringing sound, like a whistle or air horn, but not a human being produced noise. . In addition, vessels 39.4 feet or longer must have a good signaling device capable of producing an efficient sound signal, audible for 1 / 2 miles with a duration of 4 to 6 seconds. You should also carry a bell with a clapper that has a mouth of not smaller than 7.9 inches in diameter.

* Navigation lights needed to display the sunset until dawn.

* Backfire flame suppressant required on vessels with gasoline engines manufactured after 25 April 1940, except outboard motors.

* If you have a bathroom installed, you must have an operable MSD, Type I, II or III.

* Suppressor Backfire flame required on vessels with gasoline engines manufactured after 25 April 1940, except outboard motors

Now a couple of things you really should also have on board.

* An anchor (or 2) of sufficient size and type suitable for the water that is by boat, along with the anchor and chain wide horse.
* Dock lines thick enough to keep your boat at a dock.
* A VHF radio.
* A first aid kit.
* An emergency flashlight.

With all this now is ready to ship safely near the coast. You may have some as you want downriggers, planer boards, motorcycles, tugboats and tastes, but all who come with time in water and wants to understand how to enjoy their time afloat. But above all, be safe, be courteous and aware of your surroundings. AND HAVE FUN!

Black Flag: The Surrender of Germany's U-Boat Forces $11.05 DIVpOn the eve of Germany's surrender in May 1945, Grossadmiral Karl Dönitz commanded thousands of loyal and active men of the U-boat service. Still fully armed and unbroken in morale, enclaves of these men occupied bases stretching from Norway to France, where cadres of Uboat men fought on in ports that defied besieging Allied troops to the last. At sea U-boats still operated on a war footing around Britain, the coasts of the United States and as far as Malaya./ppFollowing the agreement to surrender, these large formations needed to be disarmed – often by markedly inferior forces – and the boats at sea located and escorted into the harbours of their erstwhile enemies. Neither side knew entirely what to expect, and many of the encounters were tense; in some cases there were unsavoury incidents, and stories of worse. For many Allied personnel it was their first glimpse of the dreaded U-boat menace and both sides were forced to exercise considerable restraint to avoid compromising the terms of Germany's surrender./ppOne of the last but most dramatic acts of the naval war, the story of how the surrender was handled has never been treated at length before. This book uncovers much new material about the process itself and the ruthless aftermath for both the crews and their boats.br /p/DIVDIVDIVbWorld War II Forum/b/divDIV“IniBlack Flag/iLawrence Paterson presents the complete story of the final days of the U-Boats and how their surrender was accomplished….Patterson’s research has been thorough and meticulous. He reports on the experiences of dozens of U-boats and what they experienced at the time they were surrendered and of whether their crews were well treated or abused….Paterson also addresses the destruction of the German U-boat fleet following the war and the disposition of the few U-boats that were not scuttled./divDIVbr”iBlack Flag/iis a very readable account of the f@&™™™™šÿ¾Úð

Flag 4 $17.48 Flag 4 is the signal for "attack with torpedoes," and this book offers a thrilling account of the actions of British motor torpedo boats in the Mediterranean during World War II. The smallest fighting ships of the Royal Navy, these torpedo boats could fight in the shallowest waters, penetrate minefields, and hide in the inlets of enemy-held islands. From 1940 to 1943 they were the only surface craft continually able to seek out and attack Axis forces. Filled with action backed by telling details, the book describes night assaults on enemy convoys, clandestine operations, and Special Boat Squadron missions in North Africa and Yugoslavia. It is based on the eyewitness accounts of the officers and men who served in these perilous actions. Author Dudley Pope also looks at the question of why both the Allies and Axis forces fought so hard for what were mostly just large expanses of sand and water. Pope's vivid writing style, reminiscent of his popular novels, will appeal to general readers as well as students of World War II naval actions.

"The orange flag is a safety item required in many states to alert other boaters that a rider o is down in the water or a tow rope is in the water.

I particularly like this version with the suction cup as it s easy to attach to a windshield or any fiberglass area of the boat. You can just stick it up while you are taking a break swimming around the boat and you don t have to worry about a thing.
