Flagpoles

In order for the flag to fly over the ship, it needs to be properly fixed. It does not have to act as a national symbol. It is also a commonly used means of communication between ships to signal a change of course or the need for assistance. Flagstaffs can be made of wood or stainless steel. They are adjustable in height and can be either straight or gently curved. The attachment of the flagstaff is a bracket that is mounted on the stern basket or on the deck. It is seawater-resistant and will resist wind gusts. Flagstones are pieces of equipment that will last for many years. They provide an excellent emergency communication route when the radio fails.
