Boating/Yacht Club Flag Size?
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." Ken (to reply via email remove "zz" from address) 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. |
