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.

Nautical Burgees

Nautical Burgees are the types of flags that are used on boats which bear the colors or an emblem of a particular sailing club.  Burgees are generally triangular shaped and they are mostly displayed on the top of the masthead which is the vertical pole that supports the sails in the centre. The burgees that are on the back of the boats are called the ensigns. According to the sailing rules, there could only be one burgee on the mast, at a time, but these days we can see that some boats display several burgees.

Some burgees are also used for signalling and for messaging. They can be also displayed on the anchor of a boat but this does not happen during racing. Power boats display their burgees on the bow of the boat. The place where you display the burgee on your boat will depend on the type of boat that you have. It is necessary to follow the sailing etiquette.

One of the famous burgees known is the burgee of the world’s oldest yacht club, The Royal Cork.  Also, burgee of the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron which was found in 1862 in Northern Sydney is another famous one as well.

The type of the flag that a captain could display on his boat will depend on the ranking of that person. This will depend on his experiences according to sailing hierarchy. For example a Commodore could display a burgee which could be the swallow tailed version of the original burgee. The same rule applies to the Vice Commodores and Rear Commodores as well.

When purchasing a Nautical Burgee one must make sure to choose producers who are experienced to sell you a quality product. Firstly, the burgee should be produced from very strong material, so that it remains in good condition during strong winds and wet storms.
