I need assistance on the rigging of a gaff flag halliard. Grice's drawing (see https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/13002-anchor-hoy-by-maurys-pof-harbor-craft-c-1825-148/) He shows a faint line from near the end of the gaff down to the deck area but it is not clear how it belays. There are lots of other lines missing from the drawing. Would a harbor craft even have a flag? If so, there would be a block at the end of the gaff with tails coming down to the deck somewhere. I've seen rigging plans where the tails of the halliard are tied off to cleats at the transom (two cleats, one to each side). I assume the flag would be attached to the halliard with a tail to bring it down. Also with this method, the halliard would have to be undone during a tack. Another way would be to have it cleated to a pin near the end of the boom. Solves the issue with tacking. would it have been a continuous loop? Thanks in advance for any comments. Maury
