[Rhodes22-list] Flag placement?

[Joe Dempsey]

This post replies to one posted in 2009, but in view of the arrival of our
new fleet burgee, is appropriate. I'm posting an article on Flag Etiquette
of which there are many. I combined explanations from several.  It's amazing
how detailed and complex the "rules" are which were developed over the
centuries. Traditions have a place in sailing

This is a great graphic which brings it into visual simplicity.

For those who might be interested in bringing back the nearly extinct
tradition of showing a burgee from a pig stick, I've written out
instructions from another article I found and adapted it to the Rhodes. It's
about $100 for all the material. Now is the time to install a mini-block at
the peak of your mast. You can add the pig stick later. I'll post it later.
