[Rhodes22-list] shroud size

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Chris,
I believe the stays are 1/8". We have a stainless flagpole that 
fastens to the stern rail for our American flag. You can sort of see 
it in the picture I posted yesterday.

- you may have to piece together this url with cut and paste.)

For our sailing association and other burgees we put a small block on 
the starboard spreader and have a very lightweight flag halyard that 
runs down to a cleat attached to the aft lower stay.

Are you talking about putting the flag on the back stay or on one of 
the aft lower stays? Let us know how the shroud cover idea works out. 
Our flag halyard works fine but the burgee eventually batters itself 
to death on the stays.

Best,
Mary Lou
