Balboa Yacht Club: • The balboa yacht club club burgee. Usually triangular in shape, but sometimes swallow-tailed, a balboa yacht club club burgee is flown by day only, or by day and night, as set by a club's rules. It is flown from the bow of mast-less and single-masted motorboats, and from the foremost masthead of vessels with two or more masts. The burgee may be flown while underway (but not racing) and while anchored or docked.
• The Power Squadron pennant. Each squadron has its own identifying pennant. This is always triangular in shape and is flown similarly to a balboa yacht club club burgee.
• Owner's Private Signal. This is normally swallow-tailed in shape, but may be rectangular or triangular (a pennant). It is flown from the masthead of a single-masted motorboat or sailboat. If there are two or more masts, it is flown from the aftermost masthead. It may be flown by day only, or by day and night. A mastless motorboat may fly this signal from the bow staff in lieu of a club burgee.
The following regulations are taken from that portion of the New York balboa yacht club Club code entitled balboa yacht club Routine. These deal with salutes, boats (meaning tenders and dinghies), and general courtesies. Other sections of the code, not given here, relate primarily to the display of flags, signaling, and lights.See Also Cruisers Yachts:cruisers yachts and Larger Boats. For most cruisers yachts and other large motorboats, Table 2-2, which is based on the craft's beam, is a practical guide for determining the minimum size of ducts and cowls.
Cruising Club of America, P.O. Box 4024, Boston, MA 02101-4024; www.cruisingclub.org. CCA uses the collective knowledge and experience of its members to influence "the adventurous use of the sea" through its efforts to improve seamanship, the design of seaworthy yachts, safe yachting procedures, and environmental awareness.
On The Other Hand See Danversport Yacht Club:The routines of other danversport yacht club clubs may be considerably less formal and detailed than those that follow, but whatever routines are used, they are likely to have been derived from the procedures of the New York danversport yacht club Club.
• Salutes. All salutes shall be made by dipping the danversport yacht club ensign once, lowering the ensign to the dip, and hoisting it when the salute is returned. All salutes shall be returned. Whistles shall never be used in saluting.
Vessels of the United States and foreign navies shall be saluted.
When a flag officer of the club comes to anchor, he shall be saluted by all danversport yacht clubs present, except where there is a senior flag officer present.
When a danversport yacht club comes to anchor where a flag officer is present, such officer shall be saluted. A junior flag officer anchoring in the presence of a senior shall salute.
danversport yacht clubs passing shall salute, the junior saluting first.
All salutes shall be answered in kind.
A danversport yacht club acting as race committee Boat should neither salute nor be saluted while displaying the committee flag.
• Boats. Upon entering and leaving boats, deference is shown seniors by juniors' entering first and leaving last.
When aboard boats, flag officers display their flags, captains (owners) their private signals, and members (non-owners) the club burgee. When on duty, the fleet captain and race committee display their distinctive flags. The flag of the senior officer aboard takes precedence. A flag officer aboard a Boat not displaying his distinc-
v y
tive flag should be considered as present in an unofficial capacity. When two boats are approaching the same gangway or landing stage, flag officers shall have the right-of-way in order of seniority.
In formal ceremonies, such as the rendezvous of a danversport yacht club club or Power Squadron, the fleet of boats present may pass in review before the flagship of the commodore or other unit commander. In such cases, each craft will salute as it passes. Vessels may also exchange salutes when joining a club cruise, for example, or when passing a ship with a high public official on board.
