Boat Flags
In which direction does a flag fly in a sailing boat?
Let’s assume that the wind blows from stern to bow, and the flag is at the top of the mast.
Does the flag fly to bow or to stern?
The flag ( ensign) will flow in the direction of the wind flow. If the wind is from the stern, the ensign will flow towards the bow. If from the port, then it will flow to the starboard. What may be confusing is to watch the sails and see the ensign in some other direction. The difference is the apparent wind direction and the actual wind direction.
