Mega 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 mega 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 mega 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.
mega 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 Florida Yacht Charters:The status of the florida yacht charters 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 florida yacht charters ensign may be dipped.
The following regulations are taken from that portion of the New York florida yacht charters Club code entitled florida yacht charters 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 South Pacific Yacht Charters:The first round-the-world voyage was the piration of a Portuguese navigator, Fer-and Magellan (1480-1521). Out of our with his own country, Magellan :red his services to Spain whose ruler, iperor Charles V, provided a fleet for voyage.Magellan set sail in 1519 with five ships,ling for the south pacific yacht charters of south pacific yacht charters America,ere he was sure there was a route to the stern ocean. Despite tremendous storms igellan found his route - the strait that v bears his name - and sailed into a calm which he named Pacific; he had lost onp, and one had turned for home. Magelsailed across the Pacific to the Philiples, where he was killed in a skirmish with natives. The epic voyage was completed Captain Sebastian del Cano with onep and 17 men.
In the eighteenth century the American Benjamin Franklin (1706-90) published a chart of the Gulf Stream which successfully shortened the passage time of the mail packets between North America and England. James Cook (1728-79), during his famous Pacific voyages from 1768 to 1779. finally exploded the geographical myth of a great south pacific yacht chartersern continent in the south pacific yacht charters Pacific where he took soundings down to 1,243m (4,078ft) which hinted at even greater depths.
