I am also looking for a staff for my B 26.6 II Sport Convertible (outboard). There is a receiver for it at the point of the forward rail, but it requires a thinner shaft that I have been able to find.

Re: Bertram Flag
I have looked far and wide to find flagstaffs for my 26. If someone out there has them, they certainly are not making it known. However I was able to make both a staff for the burgee at the bow and the ensign at the stern from some stainless tube and bar stock I got at the local hardware store. I found a brushed stainless steel spherical shaped drawer pull for the tops. I epoxy-ed a bit of birch dowel into the tube and screwed the drawer pull into that also seating it in epoxy where its butt end met the tube. I thought it looked pretty darn good as I bent on brand new flags.
It was only a few minutes after making my first ensign staff that I came to understand why no one has one. I hadn't run 15 minutes before the slip stream whipping the flag pulled it from its socket and it was gone! My crew that day replied in a hopeful way " Lets go back and see if we can find it." I explained that it was certainly not floating because it was all metal, not the usual teak.
My next staff was fitted with a tie down, a feature that wasn't original from Bertram. The burgee on the bow rail has a set screw to hold it. That got a shot of Locktight right away!
I'm just sayin'....
