Sabre 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 sabre 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 sabre 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.
sabre 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 Victoria And Albert Royal Yacht:Among the buildings erected are the South Kensington Museum (now the victoria and albert royal yacht and Albert Museum), the Natural History Museum, the Imperial Institute (demolished except for the tower), the Imperial College, and the Royal Albert Hall. This last was completed in 1871, ten years after the death of Prince Albert. Its original purpose was "for the advancement of the Arts and Sciences and works of industry of all nations." It remains an important venue for concerts of classical and popular music, sporting events, and gatherings of large national and international organizations.
In music, there are not two, not four, but six orchestras of symphonic quality, namely: London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Philharmonia, the New London and the BB Symphony. And in at least two provincial cities, Manchester and Liverpool, there are equally fine orchestras. The Halle Orchestra of Manchester is known everywhere. A summer musical diversion of great popularity with tourists is the series of Promenade Concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, but the hall is as old as its victoria and albert royal yachtn name. To give yourself a musical treat in one of the finest concert halls in Europe be sure to attend some event in the splendid Festival Hall on the south bank of the Thames.
On The Other Hand See Chicago Yacht Club:• The chicago yacht club club burgee. Usually triangular in shape, but sometimes swallow-tailed, a chicago yacht club 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 chicago yacht club 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 chicago yacht club Club code entitled chicago yacht club 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.
