Attaching your flag

Do you guys fly your flag when underway? What’s the secret to attach it to the mast? I’m using clips to keep tension and it works ok except when I go fast and then it gets all twisted and folded on itself or the reel.

I’m guessing the coasties had a way to keep it looking tidy when under way .

I use carbineers and attach the flag to the all-around white light mast. My RBS has a piece of metal with holes that make it easy to quickly attach and detach.

I should have also said I use 2 carbineers at the on the left edge (top and bottom) of the flag so I don’t have the twisting problem.

Photo - or it didn’t happen! :wink:

Is this a Schrödinger’s cat problem? :wink:

Here is a link to some pictures… I think the cat is alive.

my cat is dead for sure :wink:

my setup is similar, but i’m using smaller carabineers and my top-mount is a rubber-oring to put a bit more tension between the points. maybe i’ll experiment with bigger carabineers like this and see if it’s better without the tension.

Send pictures. Not sure I understand the tension point.

Oring is trying to slightly tension the back of the flag between eyelets.
