Hardline Products FTF Flag Flyer Tube for VHF Antenna - Fits 12x18 and 16x24 Flags
The Hardline Products Flag Flyer Tube (FTF) turns an existing VHF antenna into a flag pole, letting boat owners display American flags, diving and quarantine flags, Bahamas courtesy flags, yacht club pennants, and other organizational or novelty flags without adding a separate pole to the vessel. The tube slides over most antennas with a simple, tool-free installation and does not interfere with radio functions, so the VHF radio continues to operate normally while a flag is mounted. Once installed, the tube rotates freely in the wind, allowing the flag to move naturally with changing conditions rather than staying fixed in one direction.
Built from UV coated polymer plastic, the Flag Flyer Tube is designed for continuous outdoor exposure on the water, resisting fading and weather damage over time. It accommodates two common flag sizes, 12 x 18 inches and 16 x 24 inches, covering most standard boat and yacht flags. The compact tube measures 15.98 x 3.54 x 0.71 inches and weighs 0.18 pounds, making it lightweight enough to mount on an antenna without adding noticeable strain.
