ABSTRACT:
A burgee, particularly for boats and yachts, and comprising a flag mounted on a frame carried by a staff is enabled to be more sensitive by providing a pivot bearing mounting for the frame on the staff. The pivot is preferably a pointed tip to the staff bearing against a flat surface provided by the frame. The frame may be made from a single length of wire or strip material, appropriately bent to shape, and may include a loop to the side of the staff opposite to the flag.
