Yacht Charters Greece: The status of the yacht charters greece 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 charters greece ensign may be dipped.
The following regulations are taken from that portion of the New York yacht charters greece Club code entitled yacht charters greece 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 New 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 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 yachts 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.
