Default Proper flag protocol for Cat Yawl rig.

http://www.boatdesign.com/micro/files/navigator1.pdf

I am nearing completion of building one of these rigs,
and am curious of opinions about where to fly the
national emblem, US Flag. Traditionally, were should
I fly the national emblem, and club burgee?

The rig has no standing rigging or spreaders. Does
the national emblem fly from the top of the mizzen
mast and the club burgee from the top of the main mast?

FWIW, the mizzen sail is lashed to the mast and has no
halyard. The Mizzen mast can be stepped and un-stepped
to fly the mast, it weighs about 40 pounds and is 16 feet
tall, but that might not always be practical. The mizzen
is furled by rolling it up on its leech.
