Lowell said...: @ Cezar and Leia - I'm not a sailor, but a yardarm has to do with a piece of a sail, and so this device keeps part of a sail from going crazy in the wind. I think. Wikipedia has an article on yardarms which might make more sense.; September 27, 2009 at 9:25 AM

Lowell said...: @ Asta - No, it's more like a decorative piece along the boardwalk at Lake Sumter...although it may have come from a boat...; September 27, 2009 at 12:18 PM

David Zachmeyer said...: Looks like a company called Yardarm Media is using your photo as part of their logo: http://yardarmmedia.com/; June 11, 2012 at 10:36 PM
Lowell said...: Thank you, David! I've contacted Yardarm Media asking for an explanation. If I don't hear from them, I'll be contacting my attorney.; June 12, 2012 at 12:21 PM
Zach said...: No problem! I was doing a Google search for "yardarm" and your photo and the logo came up very close to one another. It caught my eye - it's unusual to see the source photo for a logo like that.; June 17, 2012 at 10:28 AM
