Catalina 22 lake wylie,sc
I just recently purchased a jolly roger pendent flag 10 x 16. I would like to mount it on top of the mast. Is there a flag staff made to fit a Catalina 22 that would attach above or to the side of the masthead light? I have no wind indicator mounted at present.

Do a google search for

Something called a pig stick. If you really want to fly it there that would be your best bet. Why not just run from a spreader flag halyard or back stay?? It would be easy to put up and take down. Fair Winds!

Flag for C22

That Catalina 22 is a really looking boat. Please don't ruin it by putting a jolly roger anywhere on it. Put a U.S. Ensign on a staff off of the stern. Join a Yacht or Sailing or Boating Club and put that burgee on up to the starboard spreader, or just leave it bare. A pirate flag tells all experienced boaters that you aren't. A quote I read somewhere else about the meaning of flags and pennants:"Pirate Flag: Used to be for pirates, now for drunks".

Don’t do it man….

…..give Google a little sniff in regards to flag etiquette. I think you might find flag halyards on your spreaders a better Idea. Don’t know about the rest of the world, but the Jolly Roger around here is used by rookies and as a signal flag by smugglers. Ferg

....tacky. Use the flag halyard on the starboard spreader if you must fly it, right next to the martini flag. A pig stick is normally used to identify yacht club or boat class when racing. It's clipped on to the main halyard or sail's head plate near the shackle so it's raised with the mainsail.

Stern rail mount

We bought a stern rail mount flag pole (3') for our C22 and now use it on our 250. Most of the time we fly the nautical US flag but sometimes various pirate flags too. It is fun and kids love it.
