Are there any guidlelines as to how big a club flag (burgee) should
be? This is the big one flown on land; not the little ones flown on
boats.

The ones for boats are supposed to be 1" of fly per ft. of boat
length. I can't find anything for the ones flown on land, except
that
it should be "very big."

Traditional formula for the US National flag
is L = 1/4 height of pole.

When pole is mounted on a roof, L= 1/2 height of pole.

Will you be flying your burgee underneath a US flag? In that case, it
should be
scaled so the casual observer will be aware that it is at least "one
size"
smaller

If you're putting up a pole at a yacht club, you might want to
consider
installing a setup that is gaff rigged with a spreader.
Your burgee goes on top of the vertical pole, the National Ensign
hangs
from
the gaff, and the burgees of visiting club members and/or the office
flags
of
your
Commodore, Vice Commodore, and Rear Commodore go on the spreaders
whenever
visitors or officers are at the club for a formal event. Very classy,
but
a
PITA to maintain. All those empty spreader lines become a real nag
when
everybody *knows* they should be in use.




1" per million dollars of net club member worth?

He was talking about his flag, not his........willy!!


Oh. I guess you have a dimple then.

Is that the one that goes, "the larger the foot, the bigger the mouth required
to put it in?"

Just wondering. :-)
