Flag poles

The flag pole isn't just an aesthetic accessory; it's a statement of identity and respect for maritime traditions. Whether it's the national ensign, a club burgee, or a courtesy flag, displaying it correctly is a hallmark of every yachtsman.

Our flag masts are made from AISI 316 stainless steel, an alloy renowned for its resistance to saltwater corrosion and harsh weather conditions. Available in a range of lengths and diameters, they're suitable for all types of vessels, from small dinghies to cabin cruisers.

In addition to complete flag pole assemblies, we also offer bases and spare parts. If your existing base is damaged or worn, you can easily replace it with a new one while retaining the original flag mast. We stock flush-mount and stanchion-mount bases to accommodate any configuration.

IMPORTANT: Before purchasing, please verify the diameter of both the flag pole and the base to ensure compatibility. Proper installation is crucial to prevent vibrations and breakages while underway.

Which Flag Pole Should I Choose for My Boat?

The choice depends on the size of the flag, the mounting point, and the desired aesthetics. For small flags (20-30 cm) on dinghies or inflatable boats, a short flag mast (40-60 cm) is sufficient. For larger flags (80-120 cm) on cabin cruisers, a longer (80-120 cm) and more robust flag pole is recommended, along with a suitable base. Also, consider the type of mounting: flush-mount for a clean look, stanchion-mount for greater flexibility.

How Do I Clean and Maintain My Stainless Steel Flag Pole?

AISI 316 stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, but it still requires regular cleaning to remove salt buildup and dirt. Use fresh water and a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive products that could scratch the surface. For extra protection, you can apply a stainless steel polish, which creates a protective barrier against the elements.

Can I Use a Flag Pole for Other Purposes?

Flag poles are specifically designed to support flags. They are not suitable for other uses, such as antennas or navigation light supports. Improper use could compromise the stability and safety of the flag holder.
