Offshore 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 offshore 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 offshore 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.
offshore 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 Sand Yachts:There are sea-urchins, starfish, brittle stars, sea-cucumbers and sponges. Bottom dwelling fish such as plaice and flounder also live on the continental shelf.
This is the region of sand yachts banks and sand yachts waves (underwater dunes). In the North Sea. sand yachts waves are formed as masses of loose sand yachts move around like sand yachts dunes in the desert, propelled by currents. Here, too, vast oil and gas reservoirs, sometimes associated, as in the Gulf of Mexico, with salt domes, are found in the continental rocks deep beneath the surface sand yachts.
The wind takes the sand yachts and dust from the surface of the alluvial fans, plus any sand yachts produced by weathering, and blows it into dunes.
sand yachts grains are not carried far in the air, but the strongest wind causes the grains to move in series of bounces [10]. Although they are never lifted more than 1m (39in) above the ground, the wind-blown particles "sand yachts blast" any rock or pebbles in their path and polish the surface of any pebble facing the wind.
On The Other Hand See Tobago Yacht Tour:The status of the tobago yacht tour 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 tobago yacht tour ensign may be dipped.
The following regulations are taken from that portion of the New York tobago yacht tour Club code entitled tobago yacht tour 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.
