To many sailors, a flag is just a flag. To Bettina Braisted, a flag can be a creative statement. Leaving a teaching job fifteen years ago to raise her children, she began a custom flag business out of the house which has grown into an international venture. The 1995 Special Olympics World Games opened ceremonies by raising their 10'x15' flag made by The Sailbag Lady.
 Soundings Magazine

"We started first in the boating industry with personal pennants and have branched out to include everything from wedding banners to Bar Mitzvah flags, from company flags to soccer banners. From Brazil to the French Riveria, some of our customers include HRH The Prince Of Wales, Dennis Connors, and Tristan Jones. Our yacht club customers include: Bimini Big Game, the New York Athletic Club, Mystic Seaport, MTOA and Grand Banks. We take great pride in an amazing duplication of whatever design you send us."

Custom Cruising
& Personal Pennants

The newest rage on the Racing/Cruising circuit is the Campaign or "Battle Flag." With a colorful, well-chosen image, it makes a bold statement fluttering to the starting line or comfortably cruising in your favorite area.

The trick, however, is to get a good, simple design in bright, contrasting colors ... sometimes a larger version of your personal pennant ... or perhaps a popular cartoon figure ... Sweet Pea ... Garfield ... Tasmanian Devil perhaps? We can help with your design! Please call us!

"We have received our flag and are very pleased. It is a delight ­­ and my wife, for whom it was a birthday present, called it 'superb.' We are very impressed with the workmanship. I think the flag will have a long life."
