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.

The Best Way to Display Burgees in a Yacht Club: A Comprehensive Guide
Table of Contents
Introduction
Burgees are an essential part of the identity and tradition of yacht clubs worldwide. They represent the club’s history, achievements, and values, and are often displayed with pride by members and guests alike. However, displaying burgees improperly or haphazardly can detract from the club’s image and tradition. In this article, we will explore the best way to display burgees in a yacht club, taking into account different types of burgees, suitable locations for display, mounting methods, and maintenance. Whether you are a new member or an experienced yachtsman, following the proper etiquette for burgee display can enhance the beauty and elegance of your yacht club, while preserving its heritage and prestige. So, let’s dive in and discover the secrets of the best way to display burgees in your yacht club!
Understand the different types of burgees
Before we dive into the best way to display burgees in a yacht club, it’s essential to understand the different types of burgees that exist. The three main types of burgees are Club Burgees, Officer Burgees, and Special Event Burgees.
Club Burgees
A Club Burgee is a distinctive flag or pennant that represents the yacht club as a whole. It usually features the club’s emblem or logo and is the most commonly displayed burgee. The Club Burgee is often flown at the club’s main flagpole, clubhouse or displayed in a prominent location.
Officer Burgees
Officer Burgees are smaller flags that represent a specific club officer or position, such as the Commodore, Vice-Commodore, Rear Commodore, or Fleet Captain. These burgees are often flown on the officer’s boat or displayed in their office or workspace.
Special Event Burgees
Special Event Burgees are temporary flags that represent a specific event, such as a regatta, race, or social gathering. They are typically flown for the duration of the event and then retired or kept as a memento.
Understanding the different types of burgees is crucial for displaying them properly and with respect. By knowing the different types, you can ensure that each burgee is given the appropriate display location and treatment. In the next section, we will discuss the best location for displaying burgees in a yacht club.
Mounting methods for burgee display
There are several mounting methods available for displaying burgees, depending on the location and type of burgee being displayed. The most common methods include:
Halyard Mounting
The halyard mounting method involves attaching the burgee to a halyard, which is then hoisted up a flagpole. This method is commonly used for Club Burgees and Officer Burgees.
Wall Mounting
Wall mounting involves attaching the burgee to a wall using screws, hooks, or clips. This method is often used for displaying burgees in a designated Burgee Display Area.
Horizontal Mounting
Horizontal mounting involves attaching the burgee to a horizontal pole, which is then attached to a vertical surface such as a wall or post. This method is commonly used for displaying burgees in a designated Burgee Display Area.
Pennant String
A pennant string involves attaching several burgees to a single string and hanging it in a designated location. This method is often used for displaying special event burgees.
Here is a video related to this post:
When choosing a mounting method, it’s important to consider the location and the type of burgee being displayed. The method chosen should be secure, safe, and not cause any damage to the burgee or the location. In the next section, we will discuss how to maintain burgees for long-lasting display.
Maintaining burgees for long-lasting display
To ensure that burgees are displayed in their best condition and last for a long time, proper maintenance is crucial. The following tips can help you maintain your burgees:
Regularly clean your burgees to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. Use a mild detergent and warm water, and gently scrub the burgee with a soft brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry before storing or displaying it again.
When not in use, store your burgees in a cool, dry, and dark location to avoid exposure to sunlight or moisture. You can roll them up or fold them neatly and store them in a dry, airtight container or bag.
Regularly inspect your burgees for any signs of damage, wear and tear, or discoloration. Repair any damages immediately to prevent further deterioration.
Replacement
Over time, burgees may become faded, torn, or damaged beyond repair. When this happens, it’s best to replace them with new ones to ensure a fresh and elegant display.
By following these tips, you can maintain your burgees in their best condition and display them with pride for years to come. In the next section, we will summarize the key points and provide some final thoughts on the best way to display burgees in a yacht club.
Displaying burgees is an important tradition in yacht clubs, and it’s essential to do it right. By understanding the different types of burgees, choosing the right location, selecting the appropriate mounting method, and maintaining the burgees correctly, you can display them with elegance and pride.
Remember, a well-displayed burgee represents the history, tradition, and achievements of the club and its members. It can enhance the club’s image and promote a sense of belonging and pride among members.
So, whether you are displaying the Club Burgee, Officer Burgees, or special event burgees, always take the time to do it right. Follow the guidelines we’ve outlined in this article, and you’ll be well on your way to displaying burgees in the best way possible.
We hope you found this article helpful, and we wish you all the best in your burgee display endeavors!

*Reciprocity Between Clubs Questions often arise about issues of reciprocity between yacht clubs and the role of PICYA with respect to this matter.
There are 108 yacht clubs and boating organizations in PICYA, each unique in size, structure, membership interests, and facilities. Therefore, it must be the responsibility of each club to develop its own program of activities and its own policies and procedures about reciprocity with other clubs.
There is nothing automatic about reciprocal privileges despite the fact that uninformed individuals and organizations pass this word along. While we believe that all our member clubs have a spirit of sportsmanship and friendliness toward other boaters, we support every club’s right and responsibility to establish its own policies with respect to visiting privileges. Reciprocity is a privilege, not a right.
Visiting Protocol and Courtesies of Clubs
Under no circumstances should a member assume that all yacht clubs are reciprocal and before requesting entrance, you should check with our General Manager and the club you intend to visit.
If visiting a yacht club in another state, first call the club and ask what is needed for you to visit.
Usually, a letter of introduction from your Commodore on yacht club stationery will help to allow you access to their club for a one time visit.
Guidelines for Members visiting other clubs 1. Verify that you have reciprocal privileges – contact the GM. 2. Call ahead to ensure that space is available, your visit will not conflict with other club functions, and to make arrangements early in the year for a club cruise. 3. When making arrangements ask about club and marina rules such as allowing pets, parties, electrical service, etc. 4. Always sign the guest register. 5. Always have a current membership card from your clubs and be prepared to show it. 6. Wear a nametag from your club or sign a ‘stick-on badge’ from the club. 7. Ask for a copy or location of club rules and observe them, you are a guest. 8. Patronize the facilities of the club. They may have brought in extra staff just for your visit. 9. Under no circumstances board or make fast to any vessel without permission. Do not use any equipment left on the dock. 10. Always follow good environmental practices consistent with concerns for proper waste disposal and discharges from your vessel. Leave a clean wake.
Most clubs want you to enjoy your visit to their facility.
Traditional yachting protocol, courtesy, and a thank you goes a long way in fostering good relations between clubs.

Burgee Exchange
The burgees are on display above the bar in our clubhouse.
It is traditional for yacht clubs to exchange burgees during the first visit by one yacht club to the other. It is the desire that our club continue this tradition. If you are planning to visit a yacht club with whom we have not yet exchanged burgees, be sure to take a SGYC burgee with you to exchange.
As we exchange with a club, we will post the photo of their burgee on these pages. Please review this list to be sure you are not exchanging with a club we have already visited. This list is in alphabetical order for easy review.
If you require a burgee to present, you can obtain one by contacting the Commodore or Shipstore. Please allow yourself plenty of time to schedule the pickup of your burgee.
When you visit a club, bring one of our burgees with you. Tell the person who greets you that you are interested in exchanging burgees with their club. They may perform the exchange at that time or they may put you in touch with one of their officers. If you are visiting the club during an event, they may even make the exchange as part of the presentations at the event. If you are calling ahead to advise them you are going to visit their club, it would be appropriate to mention at that time that your are interested in exchanging burgees.

Where to fly burgee
- Thread starter Tyemac
- Start date Aug 1, 2019
- Forums for All Owners
- Ask All Sailors
With a free standing mast, where can I fly a burgee or any other small flags?
Good question. Where indeed? lol
Why is "free standing" a qualifier? Don't free standing masts have halyards?

Ron20324 said: Fly it wherever you want to- it's all a matter of personal opinion anyway. Click to expand
capta said: Not hardly. There is a very distinct set of rules for flying flags and pennants aboard a yacht. To do other than that invites others to think you quite ignorant of yachting etiquette. Failure to fly a courtesy flag from the right place can lead to bothersome consequences should some official take offense. Click to expand
The Hunter Vision does not have spreaders or halyards as shown in the attached photo. Suggest attaching a burgee and other small flags to the lifelines. That is what we do on yacht club cruise outs when we do not want to raise it on a line that is attached to the lower spreader. I suppose you could run a line from the top of the mast to the stern rail to attach burgee and other small flags.

Flying your colors is a time honored tradition among sailors. Power boats do not have masts for sails, but they raise their flags. Flying a flag while coming into a foreign port, it is a courtesy to raise the country’s flag, as well as the Q flag, a requirement to identify the boat as not yet inspected. Further it is expected you will fly the flag of the country of documentation. The Customs folk expect such courtesy. Visiting a foreign yacht club flying your burgee is just a yachtee thing that is done, a courtesy. And who knows may get you an offer to have a drink. I sense it is better to have it somewhere, even on a makeshift flag pole then to ignore it.

Ron20324 said: IIRC, the last thread on this subject ended up where my post #4 says. Not all boats have the same facilities for the "proper" place to fly falgs. So, it is whatever works for the skipper&boat. I have about 23 flags I fly all at once, and probably NONE of them are where they "should" be. Besides, they're not "rules", just more like guidelines Click to expand
I just love these threads. Everyone is right. All others are wrong.
It has no stays or shrouds. I do not see why you could not attach an eye to the mast and attach a small block with a halyard to the deck. Just seems it would ruin the aesthetics of a free-standing mast. Maybe fly it off the masthead? Or off a staff attached to the stern pulpit?

jviss said: A yacht club burgee is usually flown at the peak on a pig-stick. The Hunter Vision certainly does have at least two halyards, or you wouldn't be able to raise your sails! I was suggesting a flag halyard (or two) to the top. A friend of mine had a Nonsuch with a similarly un-stayed, i.e., cantilevered mast, and he had a couple of flag halyards in addition to the main halyard. Same issue with Freedom yachts.
