A staff that carries your pennant or burgee at the top of your mast above the sails and instruments, the pigstick is primarily used in showing off your yacht club pride. Our Hathaways Aluminum Pigsticks are just sold as the pigstick alone, and our non-fouling burgee swivels are sold seperately to custom fit your burgee. To measure what size pigstick you need measure the height of your instruments on top of your mast plus the size of the burgee and multiply that by two. The way our pigsticks are designed, half of the pigstick sits below the top of the mast, and half sits above the top of the mast, for stability.
