The International Association for Disabled Sailing (IFDS) is an affiliate
member of the International Sailing Federation and is responsible for
coordinating the paralympic sailing competition with the
International Paralympic Committee. The organisation was called the
International Foundation for Disabled Sailing up until around 2008 when it had
to change it name due to tax law in the country it is registered in. The
organisation is responsible for liasing with the
International Paralympic Committee on their behalf.

The protocol manual for the London 2012 Olympics
(Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012 [loc12])
provides recommendations for flag designs. Each
international federation and international
paralympics federation was sent an image of the flag, including the PMS
shades, for their approval by LOCOG. Once this was obtained, LOCOG produced a 60
x 90 cm version of the flag for further approval. So, while these specs may not
be the official version of each flag, they are certainly what the
international federation and
international paralympics federation believed the flag to be.

Last year Ian Sumner made some scans from the flag manual for the London
2012 Olympics (Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012) which provides
recommendations for flag designs of international sporting federations.
For International Association for Disabled Sailing - IFDS: PMS 300 blue, PMS 298
light blue, PMS 429 grey, and PMS black.
