			<description><![CDATA[ Thank you for the follow-up on the flag socket.  The photograph is wonderful.  It appears that a stainless staff is the way to go.  You probably saved me hours of work, and gave  me some additional sailing time. (soon as the ice and snow go away)<br>
            Thanks,<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ I finally got around to taking a few photos of the pole Garhauer made. The right side shows the adjustable collar retained by allen screws. This allows the bottom support to be dropped to compensate for a stretchy nylon flag. Remember, it should be 48&quot; across the top.<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the response.  I have a good bit of teak around the boat.  Teak may be the way to go.  However, when the weather returns to somewhat seasonal in Annapolis, I may try both teak and SS and evaluate at that point.<br>
            <br>
            As an added question, does anyone know the boom length for a standard rig 1989 Catalina 42 ?<br>
            <br>
            Thanks again, Rick, Troubadour ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My opinion on the flag staff is not to use wood. The rest of the stern rail... on the boat is 1&quot; polished stainless, why not continue with ss. I have no other wood in the cockpit (except bin boards), why create other maintenance. I had Garhauer make a long pole with a fixed shackle on the top, to attach the top gromet of the flag. They then put a 1&quot; slieve with 2 set screws welded to a shackle for the bottom grommet. This way, you can keep the stretchy nylon flag nice &amp; tight. I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Rick,<br>
            <br>
            Instead of cobbling up couplers or whatever to make the teak staff fit the small-diameter flag staff socket, you might consider reducing the diameter at the end of the teak staff.<br>
            <br>
            This is not as difficult as it might sound. The ideal tool would be a large lathe, but a professional-looking job can be done with a table saw or radial-arm saw. Take shallow cuts all around the outside of the staff. It takes a few minutes to... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yes, the short stub is the flag staff socket.  <br>
            If you use a stainless flag staff it would be best to drill a hole and be able to pin it with a cotter pin.  A wood staff, unless it is way too small should be secure.<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have a 1989 three cabin 42.  There is no flag staff socket installed on this boat.  However, on the lower port aft rail, mid range, there is what could be described as a small 3 inch &quot;stub&quot; the same diameter as the rail.  Could this be a portion of a flag socket...and if not, where would a new socket be installed ?  I have searched photos of the stern of many catalina 42's...but to no avail.  <br>
            <br>
            Thanks,<br>
            <br>
            <br>... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Found a great old traditional teak flag staff in the trash cans at the dock about 10 months ago.  The bottom plug had fractured.  On a length day sail to Catalina Isl., I whittled and filed a new plug base that fit the existing 1 1/4&quot; socket on the rear railing.  Really like flying the flag from the staff as opposed to hoisting up a flag line to the spreader. ]]></description>
