Motor Yacht Charter: CNU Charter Awards 2006
In the United States and the world over, designers, developers, public officials, and others are creating buildings, streets, squares, neighborhoods, and other urban places worthy of the world's most beloved cities. With the aid of the New Urbanism movement, they are creating long-term city and regional plans that will serve as blueprints for the great cities and towns of tomorrow. Administered by the movement's flagship organization the Congress for the New Urbanism The Charter Awards program rewards the best work of this new era of placemaking.
The status of the motor yacht charter 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 motor yacht charter ensign may be dipped.See Also 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 tenders and dinghies), and general courtesies. Other sections of the code, not given here, relate primarily to the display of flags, signaling, and lights.
