Azores courtesy flag
      #1828289 - 18/04/2008 09:09

As most of you know the correct courtesy flag hoist for the Azores is the Azorian flag over the Portugese flown from the starboard spreader. Those of you who have tried to track down this Azorian flag will find it easier to purchase a live DoDo!
I have come across one company that would be willing to produce 'a high quality printed cloth ensign with lanyard' (their words not mine)
If we could club together and order say 25 then the price would be £10 each or £7.50 each for 50.
They would need 2 weeks to complete.
Due to work commitments I am unable to take this on but if anybody wants to co-ordinate this the phone number for the company is 0151 298 1007

Not a courtesy flag; but this is the only picture I've seen of an Azorean flag:

Hello,

We bought an Azorean flag on arrival but if you wanted to get one in advance try contacting the main chandlers in Horta - Mid Atlantic Yacht Services (a google search will take you to their website).

Mid Atlantic Yacht Services are very helpful and they are much better at languages than most Brits! Sure they will send you a courtesy flag if you ask them.

Alternatively try Cafe Sport - they could probably fix you up with a courtesy flag and you might like one of their own rather lovely flags which are blue with a sperm whale on them.

Good luck!

Why stop at courtesy flags? You could fly a picture of your favourite pet. Or maybe the skipper (so the crew know who's in charge).
