Flag and courtesy flag on C30

[SJI Sailor]

I have been puzzling about where to put flags on our C30.

Because our dinghy is in the way, I don't fly the primary US flag from the stern. Instead, US flag goes on the mast halyard below the anchor light. That is a problem to raise and lower it -- especially with our cockpit cover -- so unfortunately the usual situation is either up 24 hrs (not good) or never up (also not great but pretty common around the PNW). Ideas about other places and/or tricks to make it more accessible?

As for courtesy flag (in this case, for Canada) we don't have a spreader. It could go on the VHF antenna. Or the burgee staff on the bow -- that would at least be easy to lower etc. Any thoughts between those two?

I fly my Canadian flag when in Canada on the VHF antenna. Easy easy.

I fly the US flag in one of the rod holders. Make sure you have a small line tying it in because underway it could work it’s way out of the holder. I used a piece of cheap round rod from the lumber yard.
