I went overkill and had some Burnewiin fittings put on for a cockpit fly cover. The same center pole location on the transom, used for one of the fly poles, is also where the flag goes when we're underway. Having the flag draped there when we're anchored just gets in everyone's way on the swim platform. I also put a rail clamp socket up on the aft end of the flybridge for it. The upside to the added expense is a positive lock connection for the poles, nothing to wiggle loose. But I wouldn't suggest it for just flagpole as that'd be a stupidly overpriced solution.
