On my 2000 340 I have 4 flag halyard lines. They run up to the first and second spreader on both port and starboard sides. The lower pulleys are attached to the turnbuckle at the chain plate, this location makes the lines get in the way when going forward.
I'm looking to use a pulley that can attach to the mast guide wire, so I can mount them higher and eliminate the lines from getting in the way and ducking around them.
Is anyone using this type of pulley, and what brand? I can't find any. Rail mounted pulleys won't raise it high enough.
Thanks for any help.

Got ya beat sailcapt340, I have 6! Two to lower spreader, one to upper, on each side. Blocks are located under the spreader, four clamp-on cleats attached to the lower stays so two of the halyards share one of the cleats.

Four flags, six flags, what's that all about? Parades, Christmas lights, signaling, decoration, amusement parks?

If you want more sail area, have you tried a sail? LOL

I love the flags also...

Amazing Grace! How many countries have you actually visited/sailed. I get it now. The display is awesome. I've got some work to do...SANS 4 or 6 extra halyards. Seems like fun with flags with Ed Caldwell.

I think those signal flags say "I am commencing depth charge launch now"...or is it " Free drinks here"....I always get those two confused.

We have a few of those stolen charter boat flags too. I frame them and mount on the man cave walls. As soon as I saw the port flags I immediately picked up my decoder and got the name...then I saw it posted in your thread signature...duh!!! Is that a Jolly Roger on the inner port string? If so...I'm proud of ya buddy!

It is a Jolly Roger "Time flies when you're having rum", Plantation 20th anniversary with one ice cube, please. Good eye. No one around here has a clue on the signal flags, it's fun to educate kids (and their parents) about the good old days.

But no pirating of charter boat flags, they are always threadbare anyway. :) All properly purchased when we returned from

Since a lot of Hunters do not have back stays, here is another flag option. Use the spare halyard with some swivels.
