BURGEES, ENSIGNS, FLAGS and PENNANTS By Judy Hills, ACBS roving reporter, member of RDC Triangle Chapter Have you ever given thought to the burgees, ensigns, flags and pennants that we fly on our boats? Did you consciously select yours or did you just copy what you saw someone else doing? What do you know about nautical flag etiquette and usage? This article addresses this topic.  According to the US Power Squadron, “Flags are often too small…The national ensign flown at a flag staff on the stern of your boat should be one inch on the fly (long end) for each foot of overall length.” Flag —One class of flags is called the “international maritime signal flags.” According to Wikipedia, there is a signal flag “for each letter of the alphabet, and pennant for numerals. Each flag (except the R flag) has an additional meaning when flown individually, and they take on other meanings in certain combinations.” For more information on the meanings of international maritime signal flags click on this link: http://www.marinewaypoints.com/learn/flags/flags.shtml It is more common to see the international maritime signal flags displayed on sailboats than pleasure power boats.  Did you know? - The word for the scientific study of the history, symbolism and usage of flags is vexillology.
- The position of honor on a ship is the quarterdeck at the stern of a ship, and thus ensigns are traditionally flown either from the ensign staff at the ship’s stern, or from a gaff rigged over the stern.
- The general rule that no flag is flown higher than the national flag does not apply onboard a ship. A flag flown at the stern is always in a superior position to a flag flown elsewhere on the ship, even if the latter is higher up. (Wikipedia—maritime flag).
- If you take your boat to international or foreign waters, the traditional United States ensign should be flown.
- You should avoid flying more than one ensign from a single halyard or antenna.
- Massachusetts and Maine are the only two states with their own maritime flags (special versions of the state flags for use afloat).
- There is an international burgee registry. http://www.burgees.com/burgeeframe.htm
- To learn more about maritime flag etiquette: http://www.usps.org/f_stuff/etiquett.html
- If you are into vexillology and want to see some really weird flag designs, check out https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/ or click here to see vexillology Youtube videos. Click here to check out the National Maritime Museum’s historical collection of flags.
So, having a little fun with our vexillology topic, if you or your ACBS Chapter were to design a flag, what would it look like? Send your pictures, reports, announcements, and boat biographies to [email protected]Nice informative piece, thx. One concern: I recently ordered and attempted to fly the ACBS burgee on my ’55 Chris-Craft Continental 22′ and discoverd that the height measurement (~13″) is way too long for my canted mast (pins are about 9″ apart). Has ACBS considered a more “runabout” size for a burgee? I contacted the company that we purchase the burgees from. The company offers a 10″ size which should place the grommet holes about 9″ apart. If you would like me to order one for you, let me know if you prefer cotton or nylon and slanted or straight. The cost is $39. This added information came from Gene Porter: “Your yacht ensign info is inaccurate or remiss in that it fails to note that the yacht ensign must never be flown in international or foreign waters since it has no standing as a national ensign. [from the Power Squadron web site] This is particularly applicable in such areas as the Thousand Islands where US boats frequent Canadian waters, too often flying illegal flags. Thank you, Gene. One of the advantages of being in this organization is that information is shared from many sources. The website committee invites comments and discussions. It helps us all be more informed. I fly the flag and ensign that was actually shipped from Century in June of 1959 when my Gray V8 powered 16 ‘ Resorter was delivered to Ithaca NY, she has only had two owners and moved 15 miles North still on Cayuga l and is now used mostly for sunset rides, she saw many hours as a competition ski boat as her original owner was a skier for many years she has also made the trip from Sodus Bay NY across Lake Ontario to the St. Lawrence seaway twice a year for many years to his cottage on the St Lawrence. Great article but I believe you left out an important fact about the U S ensign. Congress in 1914 or 1916, please don’t hold me to the dates, pasted a law that made the United States Power Squadrons flag an official flag for U S yachts. Bob Korts Member USPS since 1960. Did you know original ensign flags had sewn stars not embroidered stars like we see today. The stars were cut out of fabric and sewn around the edges.

Yacht club burgee identification- Thread starter Hills
- Start date 13 Oct 2023
- 13 Oct 2023
We are re-hanging our club's burgee collection and would be very grateful if anyone can identify the attached. The blue one with yellow wheel/fishing rod (?) was made in the USA. Attachments I do wish that there was some publication or even beter website that colleaged these, or is there one that I've missed. It would be nice to be able to look up ones that one sees about the place.  Active memberThe one with the bird and flower is Emsworth Sailing Club and the one with the red border and blue market cross is Chichester Cruiser Racing Club.  Well-known member British Flags (United Kingdom) from The World Flag Database I had tried the databases etc before without success so posted on this forum. Many thanks to neilf39 for identifying two of them so quickly. Waiting to hear back from two flag companies - Prestige Flag San Diego for blue with wheel/fishing rod logo and Ensign Flags for red/yellow with galleon (looks very familiar!). Images of the two remaining ones are attached - the blue/white one is marked 'GLYC'. Any ideas gratefully received.  Red and yellow with a ship is Weymouth Sailing Club, The red and green one with a bird is Mengeham Rythe Sailing Club. Googling brings up Green Lake Yacht Club in Wisconsin, but their website doesn't show the burgee. George Lakes Yacht Club for the white/blue one? Thanks very much for your help michael_w and KevinV. One to go - from Prestige Flag, San Diego attached.  ImpImp said: I do wish that there was some publication or even beter website that colleaged these, or is there one that I've missed.

FREE SHIPPING TODAY on $99+ Orders! All of our flags are MADE IN THE USA ! Burgee SizesHere are some suggestions for you to consider when trying to determine the appropriate burgee size for your boat. Much of this information is provided by the U.S. Power Squadron. There is no one-size-fits-all policy for nautical flags. Flag size on boats is determined by the size of the boat - either overall vessel length, or the height above the waterline of the tallest mast. This practice is based on longstanding nautical tradition. | | | | | | | | | | | up to 30' | 10x15" burgee | | | | 31' to 36' | 12x18" burgee | | | | 37' to 42' | 14x21" burgee | | | | 43' to 48' | 16x24" burgee | | | | 49' to 54' | 18x27" flag | | | | | | | | | | | A national ensign flown at the flagstaff should be one inch on the fly for each foot of overall length of the vessel. So a 30 foot vessel should fly a national ensign that has at least a 30 inch fly. All other flags on power boats should be 5/8 inch on the fly for each foot of overall length. On sailboats, however, they should be 1/2 inch on the fly for each foot above the waterline of the tallest mast on the boat. (That is, if the top of the mast is 30 feet above the waterline, these other flags should be 15 inches on the fly.) When purchasing a flag, the size of the flag is usually rounded up to the next larger commercially available size because more often than not the flags worn by a boat are too small. While a large number of boaters operate a boat that requires a 12 x 18 inch burgee, that burgee would be way too small for a 50' boat. Since proper flag display is one measure of a good seaman, boaters should obtain and fly properly sized flags on their boat. © 2024 Beaver Flags All rights reserved. | Sitemap Visit our Popular Forums- Monohull Sailboats
