Decent video, but you glossed over the knot that you tied in the new halyard. Also, why position it between the flag clips to "hide" it when you could simply have the knot in the excess wrapped around the cleat?
@84wide, One reason to place the knot between the flag clips is to avoid the current problem that I have. Our current setup has the not at the bottom and tied to the cleat. Somehow the rope got hooked into one of the flag clips so the flag cannot be lowered without cutting the know and taping the ends of the rope together to get it through the flag clip.
Thank you for this video. I took down a flag in a small shopping center near me last week, went to order a new flag and realize that I need to replace the rope and the hooks too. Will be doing this under cover of darkness because it needs to be done and I do not know who owns the shopping center. Now I know!
