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."

I don't know that there is a hard and fast rule. Guidelines may
differ between clubs and/or club organizations. All of the burgees
flown by our club members are the same size, regardless of boat size.
From what I have seen, the same applies to other clubs in the PICYA
(About 100 clubs in Northern CA belong to PICYA). When burgees are
flown on masts at the clubhouse, they are typically the same size as
those flown on the boats -- even at some of the more hoity-toity clubs
I have visited. But I have not visited a couple of "hoity-toityest"
to see how big their burgees are...

Chapmans may have something. Although it's a great reference book
with a lot of good, accurate information, anything it says about flag
and burgee ettiquite may not be gospel.
