New flag mount scares
birds from rigging
|
Sail boaters can now display yacht club burgees or
state flags and at the same time discourage birds from perching on
signal lights and wind vanes.
Davis Instruments of Hayward, California offers the
new Yachtsman's Pig-Stick, a lightweight, fiberglass flagstaff that is
easily raised to the masthead.
Boaters simply attach their favorite flag to the split
rings provided with the Pig-Stick. The second lowest clip is for
securing a halyard and the lowest clip is for a downhaul line.
After hoisting the Pig-Stick to the masthead, the
boater pulls on the downhaul to invert the burgee or flag so it flies
above the wind vane, mast light or other sensor equipment. At this
point, the flag will fly in the face of even the most stubborn bird.
The Pig-Stick also comes with a 'no-birds' burgee and accommodates
flags up to an 18-inch hoist. To help boaters with proper flag
etiquette, Davis includes some insightful tips in the packaging.
Davis Instruments offers an extensive selection of
unique power boating, sailing, fishing and outdoor gear, as well as
precision weather instruments.
Suggested retail price of the Yachtsman's Pig-Stick is
$27.95. For more information, please contact Davis Instruments, 3465
Diablo Ave., Hayward, CA 94545, or email the company at info@davisnet.com.
