Is it just this etiquette or do you also reject regular bathing, brushing your teeth, or observing the etiquette to not pee in your front yard?Only if you follow etiquette...
Well- traditionally, the hoist (front edge) should be in inches, equal your boats lengthNotice that flag etiquette precludes flying the US national ensign from your spreaders. Foreigners are free to do so as a courtesy, but you Americans need to have it on the stern, centered, to starboard, or 2/3 up the leech of your main.
And for god sakes get yourself a suitably large flag. There really is no limit. Go large, and then one size larger.
I don’t recall Amy Vanderbilt ever addressing that one. Miss Manners, either....or observing the etiquette to not pee in your front yard?
I believe it's an inch on the fly per foot of length, minimum.Well- traditionally, the hoist (front edge) should be in inches, equal your boats length
Had to slow them a few knots though.The Pride of Baltimore shows the colors! Tell me that big ensign doesn’t look great.
My apologies-- you are correctI believe it's an inch on the fly per foot of length, minimum.
Oh, no prob! Just was my recollection of the tradition.My apologies-- you are correct
Some things are supposed to fall under, "that goes without saying". Problem is, some folks still need to be told...I don’t recall Amy Vanderbilt ever addressing that one. Miss Manners, either.
The only time one should see the US national flag flying from the starboard (or other) spreader is when the yacht is visiting from a foreign country!! Bless our Canadian neighbors!Notice that flag etiquette precludes flying the US national ensign from your spreaders.

Looooooooooooooong way to go....Because it would mean we've dispensed with the notions of "countries", "borders", visas, etc.
This is not a political statement and is just to emphasize what Kermit was saying ...Come to any lake in South Carolina. Anything goes.
I think it's a worthwhile length.Looooooooooooooong way to go....
Trump 2024 is the National Flag of Wateree Lake.This is not a political statement and is just to emphasize what Kermit was saying ...
