I'm looking to add some color to the flagpole at our cat sailing club. A colorful "H" logo or Hobie Cat flag would be just the ticket. I know I've seen Hobie Cat flags before, but I can't seem to find any for sale online.

Can anybody point me towards a source for these?

Did you try Hobie Cat Europe? Looks like something they would have done.

Thanks, Matt. Yes, I tried searching the HCE website, as well as the sites for some of the larger European dealers. So far I've had no luck searching for either "flag" or "drapeau." And HCE website's search engine (and the site as a whole) has had some coding errors for ages.

I've tried eBay. And while there are tons of places offering Hobie decals, I haven't found any flags so far. Of course, if I can't find anything online, I'll probably just print a picture and bring it to one of the tailors down the street. That's what I'm planning to do for a Yacht Club Dakar flag (with our brand new logo) as well.

You could have a custom flag made.
I know this company does quality work.

You would need permission from Hobie corp. to use the logo.

Both HCE and HC USA have "flags" that are used for marketing. I've got a couple, one that Mischa Heemskerk gave me at the F18 North Americans. I used it as the signal boat "battle flag" for both the 17/18 and the 16 North Americans:

They're very lightly built, though. They would not withstand daily use for very long.
