    Shroud cleat for flag halyard

    Howdy again ya'll. As some of us have davit/radar masts on our trawlers... Query: What is the proper way to make fast one's flag halyard to a shroud cleat? My boat's flag halyards were already rotted and gone when I bought her. The cleats are on the shrouds and they still seem like the best...
