Land Yacht Designs: • Officers' flags. Flags designating land yacht designs club or USPS officers are rectangular in shape. They are blue (with white designs) for the most senior officers, red (with white designs) for the next lower in rank, and white (with blue designs) for the lowest rank. Other officer's flags may be swallow-tailed or triangular in shape as provided for in local rules. An officer's flag is flown in lieu of his private signal on all rigs of sail and motor boats, except in the case of single-masted sailboats, where it is flown from the masthead in lieu of the club burgee.
Size of Flags
The status of the land yacht designs 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 land yacht designs ensign may be dipped.See Also Tobago Yacht Vacation:The following regulations are taken from that portion of the New York tobago yacht vacation Club code entitled tobago yacht vacation 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.
• The tobago yacht vacation 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 tobago yacht vacation documented by the Coast Guard; now, however, it is seen on recreational craft 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.
On The Other Hand See Trawler Yacht:When a flag officer makes an official visit, his flag, if senior to that of the trawler yacht visited, shall be displayed in place of the burgee while he is on board. A trawler yacht may display the personal flag of a national, state, or local official when such an individual is on board, or the national ensign of a distinguished foreign visitor. This flag should be displayed in place of the private signal or officer's flag for the President of the United States, and in place of the burgee for all other officials and visitors.
The routines of other trawler yacht 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 trawler yacht Club.
• Salutes. All salutes shall be made by dipping the trawler yacht 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 trawler yachts present, except where there is a senior flag officer present.
When a trawler yacht 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.
trawler yachts passing shall salute, the junior saluting first.
All salutes shall be answered in kind.
A trawler yacht 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.
