Marquis Yachts: 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 marquis yachts, safe yachting procedures, and environmental awareness.
The routines of other 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 Yacht Club.
• Salutes. All salutes shall be made by dipping the 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 marquis yachts present, except where there is a senior flag officer present.
When a 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.
marquis yachts passing shall salute, the junior saluting first.
All salutes shall be answered in kind.
A 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.See Also Montauk Yacht Club:• The montauk yacht club club burgee. Usually triangular in shape, but sometimes swallow-tailed, a montauk 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 montauk 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 montauk yacht club Club code entitled montauk 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 Party Yachts:After this first party yachts, when the hostess has shown your pictures to all her friends and they have become the talk of the party yachts-giving social set, you may find it is no longer necessary to make any effort to line up future parties, but simply keep an appointment book for the customers who call you.
If you are the darkroom enthusiast type of photographer who would be interested in processing for night club customers, you probably know all about high-speed methods. But if you have any questions on this technique write to: Customer Service Department of Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y.; or Ansco, Binghamton, N.Y.; or E. I. du Pont De Nemours & Co., Photo Products Div., Wilmington, Del.from a complete coverage of a party yachts given by one of your friends. You can show the pictures to a hostess who is planning a party yachts and ask her, "How would you like to have a set of pictures like these taken at your party yachts?"
There are only two probable replies when you ask any normal hostess this question: "I'd love it!" or "How much would it cost me?"
