Re: Flag etiquette

I attach herewith a copy of the rules.

I think it looks as if rule 33 c applies. ILLUSTRATION 4A - the centre illustration.    

Burgee should be at the top of the mast!


So for any Amel ketch it should be on a staff at low level on the rear rail - as allowed for on my Amel 54.

That’s certainly where I carried it round the World.

I hope that helps?

Anyone interested in "Dress Overall”  - rules?  Thank stop Ian for getting those words in the right order!

Peter,

 I'm sure the RYS would call it  " dress overall" !

I will get out my copy of the ROYAL YACH SQUADRON instructions on this and send you a photocopy on this and how to ‘dress all over’ - should be able to do that on Friday.

best wishes

Peter

I don't know much about where to fly my own flag (it's off the stern on the Amel pole, about an inch per foot of boat as is about right, and in any case I don't care much as it is a convenience country). But I do know that hanging around here in Sicily the last few months, I have seen exactly ZERO visiting boats who bothered to put up the Sicilian flag (same went in Sardinia last month before here). Went looking for one after a week in port, found it, hoisted it right below the Italian courtesy, and watched the attitudes of anybody local change immediately from stranger-friendly to family-friendly. A number of direct positive comments as well, including from the Costeria who waved instead of boarded. Don't neglect local flags because here, as an example, Sicilians consider themselves more Sicilian than actual Italian. Same for Sardinia, and I'm sure many other regions around the world. Just my 2 cents on flags....
