Rental Yacht: The status of the rental 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 rental yacht ensign may be dipped.
The following regulations are taken from that portion of the New York rental yacht Club code entitled rental 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.See Also Used Yacht:• The used yacht Ensign has the same 13 stripes, but with a fouled anchor in a circle of 13 stars in the union rather than 50 stars. Originally, it was to be flown in addition to the U.S. ensign to designate a used yacht documented by the Coast Guard; now, however, it is seen on recreational craft of all types and sizes instead of the 50-star flag. It should not be flown in international or foreign waters where the national flag is required. The locations and hours are the same as for the 50-star flag.
When a flag officer makes an official visit, his flag, if senior to that of the used yacht visited, shall be displayed in place of the burgee while he is on board. A used yacht may display the personal flag of a national, state, or local official when such an individual is on board, or the national ensign of a distinguished foreign visitor. This flag should be displayed in place of the private signal or officer's flag for the President of the United States, and in place of the burgee for all other officials and visitors.
On The Other Hand See Luxury Yacht:Decor Trends Lean Toward luxury yacht
At $5,800 a set, you probably won't be able to afford the ultimate luxury yacht of the year - cashmere sheets. Donald Trump will have them. You won't. But that won't stop you from wanting them. Your hunger for luxury yacht will continue to shape the way you shop and decorate in 2006. "It's become embedded in the culture that everyone is entitled to a little bit of luxury yacht," says Candace Corlett, principal consultant at WSL Strategic Retail in New York. As a result, you can expect to see more and more luxurious-looking or designer-like items available for sale, especially at big-box stores. But oh, the guilt. In 2005, the world has been scoured by killer waves, hurricanes, earthquakes and war.
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 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.
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.
