What a lubberly set-up. You should install a proper flagstaff on the
transom and decommission your improper set-up.




========================

Good advice. I'm sure everything on your Coronado 27 is set up in
proper Bristol fashion. Has it been underway recently?


Underway frequently and Bristol Fashion.

I wonder what reason the great captain can give for mounting the flagstaff on the port side?
JR



Because I board my vessel from the dinghy on the starboard quarter because
it is uncluttered there. The port side has the BBQ, wires, etc.

Another advantage is that people probably stay away from you thinking that you know as much about handling a boat as you do flag
etiquette.
JR



I know enough not to fly a flag 15 feet up the backstay. There is more
than one thing wrong with that picture.

Also, there is no set fast rule about placing the stern staff on
either port, starboard or middle.

From Chapman's piloting: "A single-masted sailboat underway may
fly the U.S., USPS, or yacht ensign at a stern staff. . ."
The illustration depicts the staff in the center but since
I have an outboard in the center the staff cannot be fitted
there. I hope this helps.

Doesn't help at all. There are two proper places to mount a flagstaff on the stern and the port side isn't one of then. I must
admit I am surprised at you one this one capt.
JR



Proper is not proper if it is not functional. Besides, what about the
term stern staff don't you understand?
