Santa brought a jolly roger flag and club pennant (burgee). How do any of you fly decorative flags on your TI? Please share ideas, with pics if you have them. |

i thought flags much like streamers would be counter productive on a sailboat |

Yes and no. If you don't overdo things, a small flat or pennant isn't going to hurt performance by much and can serve as an apparent wind indicator as well. You can trail a pennant from the top of the mast, or from the batten top first one back from the mast, or on a slim pole pegged into a rod holder. |

We have a small jolly roger flag on top of our mast and it is very nice for reading apparent wind (which is really hard to read/predict without some sort of flag or streamer). Easiest solution would be to tape a small fiberglass rod to the top of the mast. The top of the sail is open so the rod would stick thru, then just attach the sail to that (if I didn't have a mast topper for my jib and spinnaker, that's what I would do). FE |
