What else! :}

This is going on the stern. Hullside mounted graphics get banged up.


Modern graphics are funny. Some are closeup only, like airbrush art.
Others are seen from far away.

I one saw the Indonisian Tall ship entrant at Baltimore Harbor. A
real Pirate busting schooner! Except it looked tacky on the schooner.

Real pirates haunt Indoniasian waters. REAL MAINLINE PROFESSIONAL
SCHOONER. BAD FLAG.

It needs modern undating. OLD WORLD Flag and modern times do not mix.

The Jolly Roger needs an interpretation. And yours is not so bad. It
is modern.

I once saw a guy take a flag and cause the police to haunt the boat.
A guy had an old drug running schooner, and the Coast Guard just
busted the thing for inspection so bad it had to be dry docked. It was
in the Washington Post Magazine.
Way back.

So stay simple or complex. If you want to run the police line make
the statement. If you truly want low key? Stay low key.

Note: real time boaters want low key.

Maybe make a temporary on season latex boat picture? See if it looks
ok for your true lifestyle.
