Octopus Yacht: octopus yacht is popular in Greece and Cyprus where dried and grilled pieces of the tentacles are served as appetizers with pre-dinner drinks (the tentacles of squid are used for the same purpose in Italy). The flesh of octopus yacht is extremely dry and tough and must be beaten to break down the tough fibres before it is cooked for eating.
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 Francisco Bay Area 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.
On The Other Hand See Sea Dream Yacht Club:The routines of other sea dream 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 sea dream yacht club Club.
• Salutes. All salutes shall be made by dipping the sea dream 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 sea dream yacht clubs present, except where there is a senior flag officer present.
When a sea dream 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.
sea dream yacht clubs passing shall salute, the junior saluting first.
All salutes shall be answered in kind.
A sea dream 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 sea dream 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.
