Some people just want to complicate life. Just use clothespins to hold
your flag to any desired stay or shroud and ignore authoritarian
nonsense. If they complain, make up something sensible about how the
boomslang inteferes with it being visible. Why would you want to fly
any flag other than the Q or a courtesy flag? Excessive yachtiness is
really annoying.

If your boat is US documented you must, by law, fly the US flag. A
clothepin is unlikely to hold much above 5 knots.
I have my flag on the topping lift. Easy to lower if I need to.
