COVER: YACHTING FLAGS

Painted by Dan Todd

From A (top center) to Z (bottom right) this week's cover features the seaman's colorful alphabet. Vital to sailors (see page 24), these flags have equal fascination for the layman. Tip: cut out your initials to make your own insignia in the heraldry of the sea.
