What Ensign is this?

Does anybody know what Ensign this boat is?

it has been on the river clyde at Largs a few times now and I'm interested to find out what it is.

Glasgow registered Equinox in the Largs Channel 11 April 2008. Does anyone recognise the ensign?

It's a government type organisation if it's a blue ensign but after a swift google I haven't found which organisation uses the emblem on that particular flag. The place to ask is at www.clydesite.co.uk but I let my subscription lapse a couple of years back.

I love how when i google imaged ensign It suggested I search for Royal navy ensign

It's hard to make out the picture on the ensign in your image - is it a crown?

Have a look here to see if you can find it.

I think its a sea cadets vessel

It'll be a club ensign, probably.

Wrong ensign for them

Aha.. looks like it might be the Royal Ocean Racing Club, maybe?

Beaten to it - just found that in the World Flag Database

FTM · 14 Apr 2008 at 15:02

the emblem is blurred...and it does look like a crown rather than the cadets emblem

FTM · 14 Apr 2008 at 15:06

to be honest it looks more like a working boat than a pleasure boat or a racing boat..its of the same design as a lot of pilot cutters

Racing clubs need working boats too

Looks more like a patrol/umpire boat.

yeah at first glance it was mistaken for a pilot cutter.

I managed to get a better look at the Ensign it does not appear to be the same as the one for the Ryoal Ocean Racing Club

Please see below. It is annoying me now that I can't find out what it is. If any one has better ideas please help out.

FTM · 15 Apr 2008 at 16:04
