I've seen so many boats with a faded tattered flag fluttering off the top of the MOB pole, this solution keeps the flag in good shape and deploys it automatically, the sleeve stays behind still tied to the backstay.
I now use this on my own boat. |
I have the same setup on my boat.. "Danbouy" brand.It just sits in a tube "holster, all i have to do it lift it from tube and drop it over, everything else is automatic.. My horseshoe life rings are all fitted with drouges and whistles.
I perhaps should but don't have a
line attaching the Danbouy to the life rings, As I carry two rings on the stern and would toss whichever was closest to the MOB.
