![[Flag of Yap]](../images/f/fm-yap.gif)

Yap adopted a flag on 30 May 1980, designed by John Gilinung. It was first
hoisted on 1 March 1981. It's (king's-)blue, and on the centre in a white ring
is the stylized silhouette of an indigenous boat with sail hoisted, and a
"Rai" or "Fei", the money-stone of the islands, all in
white. In the centre is a five-pointed star. The proportions have been
variably reported as 3:5 and 37:70.
