Flag Flying Etiquette

Flag Flying Etiquette

Flags should be in good shape and appropriate to the size of the vessel.   Refer to your Chapman's book for specifications.

Drake and Monique preparing to cross the Atlantic

Follow Drake and Mo aboard Paragon as they make their way across the Atlantic. Monique is blogging about their travels at 39degree.blogspot .  You can also find their videos about their travels on YouTube at DrakeParagon.

I first met Drake Roberts working as a yacht broker in Oriental, North Carolina.  He was in search of a Westsail 42 and I had just happened to have listed one the week prior. He was already the owner of a Westsail 32 and convinced a larger Westsail was the vessel he needed.  Long story short , the transaction was made and the boat I had listed is now known as Paragon and is the subject of numerous videos and writings.

Years have past and Drake has sailed countless miles aboard Paragon and is currently in St. John's New Foundland

preparing to cross the North Atlantic.  I am quite confident Paragon is a sea worthy vessel capable of such an undertaking and her Captain is an experienced and qualified seaman. We wish them fair winds and look forward to seeing their videos from the other side of the Pond.
