LOWERING THE Q FLAG



When you enter a new country on a yacht you arrive under quarantine regulations and must fly a yellow flag on your starboard spreader until officially cleared by Customs, Immigration and Quarantine.

Only after these procedures are completed may you lower the yellow (or "Q" flag) and raise the country flag of the country you are visiting.

Here IS a picture of me lowering the "Q" flag.
