Pig stick

A pig stick is a staff that carries a flag or pennant, usually the burgee of the boat owner's yacht club, above a mast of a sailboat, it's connected to a halyard so when it's raised the top of the mast, the "pig stick" extends above the mast allowing the flag to be seen flying above the boat's sails.
