Product Description
The 'L' flag, or Lima flag, is used to represent the alphabetic character 'L' for use in a message between boats. It also means "You should stop your vessel immediately."
The 'L' flag, or Lima flag (also called the “Yellow Jack”) is square in shape. Its display is divided into four smaller squares, with two on top and two on the bottom. The smaller squares are alternately yellow and black in color.
In the past, the Lima flag indicated the ship is either under quarantine or having serious health problems. Once the local authorities have determined that the ship’s health problems have been resolved and removed the quarantine order, the ship may fly the Request Pratique flag ( the 'Q' flag, QUEBEC), which is solid yellow.
