Difference between a burgee and a membership flag

[Highland Bear]

My club states that the burgee must be at the masthead if possible. Blue ensigns must be accompanied by the club cummerbund. If this is inconvenient, you can fly it on the starboard spreader, but at the same time you must wear saucy underwear. The rules stipulate a minimum of peephole bra (the rules were last revised in the 70s I'm afraid). If a courtesy flag is on the starboard spreader, then the burgee can be move to port, but the skipper must wear saucy undies appertaining to the country of the courtesy flag (french maid, teutonic dominatrix, etc.) and all crew members must adopt outrageous accents from the same at all times. Except on Tuesdays.

Some would say it's a little odd, but they clearly haven't been to the right schools. Gideon Osbourne is a member.

Would you be able to send me a membership application form please SB? Let's do it in Serbo -Croat!

Burgees

Although the thread has drifted somewhat, I thought the attached link might be of help to others who, like me have lots of junk at the masthead. Unfortunately there are only rough dimensions given!

I am having a stainless pole (tube) made which will bolt to the mast top plate, and hopefully put the burgee clear of all the antennas, and the wind instrument transducer.

A lot of trouble just to wind people up.

I will post the details if it is successful!

Michael.

Is not favourite, but is long time since I dance to tamburitza on foredeck, so let's do. We wear saucy regulation underwear and curse Zagreb!
