Frentsjer city (Franeker)

former Franeker Shipmate Flagchart : http://www.flagchart.net
adopted 14 Dec 1962

Franeker/Frentsjer is one of the 11 Frisian cities, located between Leeuwarden and the Afsluitdijk (Enclosure-dam). It's an old university town and the place where Friesland's most important yearly sporting event, the 'PC' of 'kaatsen' (striking a ball with the open hand - pelote (?) takes place on the 'Tsjûkelân". (a very small green)
The flag was in Hesman's flagbook of 1708 with 4 horizontal stripes YBYB. On the advice of Klaes Sierksma the flag became simply YB, to avoid confusion with the flag of Friesland's capital, Leeuwarden (BYBY). In 1984 Franeker merged with Franekeradeel and it is not known which (if any) flag is used as city-flag.
