About the Bur gee
The bur gee generally has a triangle form. It is the basic pennant which is one of the most determinate traits of a boating group or yacht club. The bur gee is usually positioned at the best parts of the boat or vessel, such as the main masthead, back stay or starboard spreader. The bur gee will also be displayed on a short staff on the bow if it is found on a powerboat. The flag can be displayed while the vessel is docked or while traveling over water.
About the Courtesy
Custom Flag
Courtesy flags are usually available on vessels moving over international waters and in foreign countries. These symbolize respect. The flag can be seen on the starboard spreader of a sailboat. You can also transfer the bur gee from the starboard spreader to the masthead if you prefer. The courtesy flag is usually placed on a bow staff which will replace the bur gee on a powerboat. As a result, the bur gee will be moved to the antenna or port side spreader.
The Flag Dimensions
The basic rule to get the right measurements is to have one inch for each foot of the total length of the vessel. If the vessel spans 30 feet long, the ensign should be at least 30 inches long. If it does not reach that length, you can round up to the next available size. Other types of
custom flag should be around 1/2 to 5/8 inch in length for every foot of the total length of the boat or LOA.
