Bitter End Yacht Club: • The yacht club burgee. Usually triangular in shape, but sometimes swallow-tailed, a yacht 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 yacht 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 Yacht Club code entitled Yacht Routine. These deal with salutes, boats (meaning tbitter end yacht clubers 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 Bluewater Yachts:Children's programs and private instruction also available.

On The Other Hand See Elite Yachts:As to lodging and food: In Vienna, Hotel Ambassador-Krantz is first class, as is Hotel Sacher, the latter awash with centuries of aristocratic tradition and with today's elegance and comfort. Its restaurant is the best-known one in Austria, a place where royalty and the international elite yachts of society have longed dined and still do so.
Consequently, those who can produce fine pictures have turned to the magazines for their outlet, and have made of magazine photography a highly honorable pursuit, one in which the successful are respected in any company, no matter how elite yachts or intellectual. Of course there are hack photographers in the magazine field, just as there are hack writers, but generally magazine photography compares in public esteem with any of the other professions, though not in financial rewards.
