Chris Craft Motor Yacht: • The Yacht Ensign has the same 13 stripes, but with a fouled anchor in a circle of 13 stars in the union rather than 50 stars. Originally, it was to be flown in addition to the U.S. ensign to designate a yacht documented by the Coast Guard; now, however, it is seen on recreational chris craft motor yacht of all types and sizes instead of the 50-star flag. It should not be flown in international or foreign waters where the national flag is required. The locations and hours are the same as for the 50-star flag.
The status of the yacht ensign (13 stars in a circle around an anchor on a blue field) is not spelled out clearly, but since the law specifically covers only the flag of the United States, the assumption has been made that the yacht ensign may be dipped.See Also San Diego Yacht Club:• The san diego yacht club club burgee. Usually triangular in shape, but sometimes swallow-tailed, a san diego 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 san diego 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 san diego yacht club Club code entitled san diego 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.
On The Other Hand See Seattle Yacht Club:The routines of other seattle 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 seattle yacht club Club.
• Salutes. All salutes shall be made by dipping the seattle 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 seattle yacht clubs present, except where there is a senior flag officer present.
When a seattle 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.
seattle yacht clubs passing shall salute, the junior saluting first.
All salutes shall be answered in kind.
A seattle 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 seattle 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.
