Burgee tip

[Fairbro]

I discovered a way to quiet a sleep disturbing , flapping, clinking burgee without removing it. It would also work for towing and reduce fading. I roll the burgee around the pole and slip the cover sleeve from a collapsible umbrella over it. It actually looks kind of classy too I might add. I looked for the, "Good ideas under $25.00", thread but couldn't find it.

Several years ago, I flew a burgee. When I trailered the boat with it still in place, I would wrap it around its' mast and ensleeve (is that a word?) it inside a piece of foam pipe insulation and then take a very small bungee and wrap around it to keep it secure.

Certainly not as quick and easy, nor as attractive ("classy") as your remedy, but is at least one other method that can be utilized. Perhaps, my method would be referred to as the "bailing wire" approach. Wish I had thought of your method back then.
