This organization helps to raise funds to facilitate U.S. participation in Olympic yachting competition.See Also Yacht Ensign: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.
When in international waters, or those of a foreign nation, the U.S. ensign should be flown rather than the yacht ensign or USPS ensign. When in the waters of another country, it is proper to fly that country's flag as a "courtesy ensign." Many nations have different flag designs for various situations; the courtesy ensign is usually the one that vessels of the visited nation normally fly at their stern.
On The Other Hand See York Yacht Club: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.
• 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.
