Halyards

[Guest]

Not another post on what flags to fly, but how to get them up and keep them there.
Any suggestions as to the best method of rigging the signal halyards. I normally put a loop in where needed and then a sheet bend. Trouble is you have to keep taking loops out or they look terrible. Any better ideas?

Try a rolling hitch--a very useful knot to know anyway for clearing riding turns, attaching snubbers or tackles to anchor rodes, etc.
