Jondal municipality is situated in Hordaland county.
The flag flown by the municipality of Jondal, three yellow boathooks extending diagonally
upwards from the lower fly on a field of red, symbolises the importance of the boat to
the community. It is not only a means of communication, but also important for the industries
of the municipality. Jondal has traditions in boat building, and the skills of making wooden
boats are kept in high regard. The flag of Jondal was designed by Arvid Sveen and officially
approved by Royal resolution 27 November 1987.

Blazon: På raud grunn tre skrått framveksande gule båtshaker. In English:
Gules three boat-hooks bendwise issuant from base sinister.
Approved by the royal resolution of 27 November 1987 after a drawing by Arvid
Sveen. [c2j88]
The municipal web site
https://www.jondal.kommune.no/artikkel.aspx?AId=43&Back=1 explains simply
that the hooks should appear as dragging forward and reminding how important
were boats for work and transportation in the municipality.
The same web site claims that the municipal flag is white with the municipal
arms in it - that is certainly contradicting the royal resolution and the
municipal decision of 9 September 1987 mentioned in it, but it indicates the
current use.
