Sint Maarten flag awaiting repair

Link

Didn't realize keeping that flag flying was such a big project.

Yes. Wind is very destructive to both a flag and pully system let alone the rope. My 4x6 US Flag has to be replaced every 4 months due to some of the strong winds we get at my place in Easter WA. Rope and pully also gets it's wear from constant abrasion due to the winds and weather.

Isn't it called a flag halyard? not a flag rope/?
just wondering.

Don't know, Raspy!! Do tell!

Nice to see you here, by the way.. Wish I was going to be down for Regatta and you could buy me another bottle of Dom!!
