Chapmans may have something. Although it's a great reference book

Chapman had the 1" to 1 ft. rule for burgees flown on boats. Nothing
on the size of land-flown burgees.

The boat rule was a surprise. Our club's burgees are all 16" on the
fly, but the average boat length is around 30 ft. No wonder we can't
get reservations at the fancy clubs: We look like a fleet of clowns
with tiny hats and big feet!
