Default Proper flag protocol for Cat Yawl rig.

I know you probably want to stick to the design, but can't see why you
couldn't incorporate a halyard for the mizzen and rings, like on a gaff
rigged boat.
The rings could be sawn out of PVC pipe.
In my experience, the more difficult a rig is, the less likely it is to be
used...

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.
