Inglefield clips, from a Royal Navy handbook of 1943 Two brass Inglefield clips connected (a standard clip on the left and a swivel clip on the right).. The Inglefield clip (also known as a sister clip [1] and a Brummel hook [2]) is a clip for joining a flag or ensign quickly, easily and securely to flag halyards so that the flag can be hoisted. [3]
A flagpole, flagmast, flagstaff, or staff is a pole designed to support a flag. If it is taller than can be easily reached to raise the flag, a cord is used, looping around a pulley at the top of the pole with the ends tied at the bottom. The flag is fixed to one lower end of the cord, and is then raised by pulling on the other end.
The cord or rope that ties a flag to its pole is called a halyard. Flags may have a strip of fabric along the hoist side called a heading for the halyard to pass through, or a pair of grommets for the halyard to be threaded through. Flags may also be held in position using Inglefield clips. [50]

A Stars & Stripes flag was included on the sticker sheet, so the set may have been sold with a Tyco Racing flag pole. The set box shows the flag and pole mounted on the far inside corner of the platform but an unloading bay with a hole for fitting it in has yet to turn up. This tends to suggest that the tooling was probably never modified.
Guy (red arrow), controlling the spinnaker pole. The guys supporting a sailboat mast are called "standing rigging" and in modern boats are stainless steel wire rope. Guys are rigged to the bow and stern, usually as a single guy. Lateral guys attach to "chain plates" port and starboard attached to the hull.
