Although we use four foot six inches (yard and a half) on our 385 following the rule of 1 1/2 inches per foot of boat length,
A yard looks too small.

Just in case, 1 inch is approximately 2.5 cm, 1 foot is 12 inches or approximately 30 cm, 1 yard is 3 feet or 90 cm,.
So using the table it suggests 90 x 150 cm and using my rule it should be 190 cm long. If you buy flags in yards like we do?? It’s a 2 Yard flag.
