Red Ensign is to be flown as close to the stern of a vessel as possible. It is taken down at night (as the empties are stowed) and raised again in the morning (as the empties are taken ashore). When a yacht is racing the Red Ensign is not flown, and as you can see, we weren't racing.

@wylieclicks that was done on purpose then I straightened the horizon!!!
