Orion 925 Orange Distress Flag, 3 x 3 ft

Brand:
Orion
Part no:
925

Orion's orange distress flag (item 925): 3 ft x 3 ft heavy-duty vinyl with four 12 in nylon ties, which Orion lists as USCG approved as a daytime signal. The federal minimum is 36 x 36 in with a black square and a black disc. A flag counts for day only, so it needs a night signal beside it; the Coast Guard says it is most visible waved on a paddle or boat hook, or flown from a mast.
