Many boats registered im Poland raise the wrong Polish ensign.
First one is the only one ensign which should be raise on the boat.
The second one is Polish national flag - not for use on the boat or vessel.

Operating a yacht with the Polish flag requires a license to operate the radio equipment on the vessel. The owner or operator of a vessel is obliged to apply to the Polish Office of Electronic Communications for a “radio license”.
Along with the radio license, the Office of Electronic Communications gives the vessel a call sign, MMSI number (maritime units) and / or ATIS number (inland units) required by the international law on safe navigation.
An owner of the ship or the ship’s operator is obliged to provide a document confirming the authorization to operate radio equipment on the yacht to which the license procedure applies
(i.e. SRC or LRC).
In the case of an applicant who is not a citizen of the Republic of Poland, the Communications Office recognizes only the entitlements obtained from the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) or official state license.
