Flying flags

We have a small staff on our bow rail. It either flies the C Brat burgee or a Hawaii state flag. Makes enough of an irritating racket with the slightest breeze that the flag/burgee is rolled up at night. I think it's a Seadog brand. Just the black mount stays put permanently. It's very simple and non-nondescript.

Martin,

Don't buy the cheap ones with the crimped post. Go for the more expensive ones with the thicker walled posts that attach to the mounts via a set screw that has the black plastic handle. They'll last forever rather than just until the first good wind. We ended up buying the Perko one after the cheapie one broke.
As far as the noise goes they are rather annoying at night when you're trying to sleep in the v-berth.
I think your power squadron has a list of flag etiquette that covers pretty much every flagging option including dressing up.
Good luck
Chris
