True on a powerboat, not for sail. Proper place to fly the ensign is off of the luff of the mainsail. Next best place is off the backstay as per your original post. Going up the backstay isn't a big deal. Doug You are wrong. Where is one to put the flag when at anchor or when motoring? And, if the flag is flown off the mainsail it should be two-thirds of the way up the leech. Fifteen feet doesn't quite get it. It is wrong to fly the flag off the backstay because the angle is incorrect and the flag does not display properly. Then there is the problem of courtesy flags which are shown off the starboard spreader. They should be above the ensign as a courtesy. A flagstaff on the stern if the proper way to display the flag on modern sloops. CN Proper is not proper if it is not functional. Besides, what about the term stern staff don't you understand? CN Flagstaff or stern staff? It looks like neallie cannot even agree with himself. JR A flag staff at the stern = a stern staff. Keep grasping at those straws, why don't you. CN I don't have to grasp at straws to show what an idiot you are. Just quote you. JR But, you should at least endeavor to make a modicum of sense when doing so. CN How can I and still quote you??
