Where to fly burgee- Thread starter Tyemac
- Start date Aug 1, 2019
- Forums for All Owners
- Ask All Sailors
With a free standing mast, where can I fly a burgee or any other small flags? Good question. Where indeed? lol Why is "free standing" a qualifier? Don't free standing masts have halyards? Tyemac said: With a free standing mast, where can I fly a burgee or any other small flags? Click to expand Ron20324 said: Fly it wherever you want to- it's all a matter of personal opinion anyway. Click to expand capta said: Not hardly. There is a very distinct set of rules for flying flags and pennants aboard a yacht. To do other than that invites others to think you quite ignorant of yachting etiquette. Failure to fly a courtesy flag from the right place can lead to bothersome consequences should some official take offense. Click to expand The Hunter Vision does not have spreaders or halyards as shown in the attached photo. Suggest attaching a burgee and other small flags to the lifelines. That is what we do on yacht club cruise outs when we do not want to raise it on a line that is attached to the lower spreader. I suppose you could run a line from the top of the mast to the stern rail to attach burgee and other small flags. AttachmentsSBO Weather and Forecasting Forum Jim & JohnFlying your colors is a time honored tradition among sailors. Power boats do not have masts for sails, but they raise their flags. Flying a flag while coming into a foreign port, it is a courtesy to raise the country’s flag, as well as the Q flag, a requirement to identify the boat as not yet inspected. Further it is expected you will fly the flag of the country of documentation. The Customs folk expect such courtesy. Visiting a foreign yacht club flying your burgee is just a yachtee thing that is done, a courtesy. And who knows may get you an offer to have a drink. I sense it is better to have it somewhere, even on a makeshift flag pole then to ignore it. sail sfbay said: The Hunter Vision does not have spreaders or halyards as shown in the attached photo.

Click to expand Ron20324 said: IIRC, the last thread on this subject ended up where my post #4 says. Not all boats have the same facilities for the "proper" place to fly falgs. So, it is whatever works for the skipper&boat. I have about 23 flags I fly all at once, and probably NONE of them are where they "should" be. Besides, they're not "rules", just more like guidelines Click to expand I just love these threads. Everyone is right. All others are wrong. It has no stays or shrouds. I do not see why you could not attach an eye to the mast and attach a small block with a halyard to the deck. Just seems it would ruin the aesthetics of a free-standing mast. Maybe fly it off the masthead? Or off a staff attached to the stern pulpit? capta said: Would you want to tell Emily Post that the "rules" of etiquette are just suggestions? I wouldn't! Click to expand Kermit said: Everyone is right. All others are wrong Click to expand Justin_NSA said: I revisited to see if a solution was found. Not yet.... Click to expand jviss said: A yacht club burgee is usually flown at the peak on a pig-stick. The Hunter Vision certainly does have at least two halyards, or you wouldn't be able to raise your sails! I was suggesting a flag halyard (or two) to the top. A friend of mine had a Nonsuch with a similarly un-stayed, i.e., cantilevered mast, and he had a couple of flag halyards in addition to the main halyard. Same issue with Freedom yachts.
