I think the owner is a gentleman from Yorkshire and the 'White Rose' refers to Yorkshire (as in Yorkshire's flag/symbol). 'Drachs' is an acronym of his sons & Daughters names.

I know this is an old thread recently bought back to life, but I remember his previous yacht very well. A Don Shead design built at Brooke Yachts 1988. It became Deep Blue.

The White Rose of Drachs just arrived and anchored in Fethiye. This is on the west Coast of Turkey. nice detail is her yellow flag on starboard.. So she must have something in quarantine and waiting customs.

Hi,

Welcome to YF.

Hoisting of the Q Flag is a standard procedure when arriving in a different country from where you departed, it does not definitely signify that these is anything special or out of the ordinary on board requiring special clearance.

As K!W! signalled, raising the Q-Flag (Yellow Patch) is standard proceedure. Once you arrive in a new port you are required to raise it. Even if you are from your home port and you leave your territorial waters and go somewhere else and comeback, The Q should be raised upon entry. It signals that clearance from Port Health and Customs/Immigration has been requested. Once this has been done the Q-Flag should be taken off the mast.

So in the case of WROD, flying the Q upon entry to Turkey is what should be done.
