Flag Etiquette - or NOT... and a where is it? in one post.

[john_morris_uk]

I have tried, but I can't resist posting this picture. I don't get too wound up about flag etiquette, but its a matter of politeness to put the courtesy ensign up at the correct place? Of course if you wish to fly your club's burgee superior its up to you.

Can anyone guess what the club is, whose pennant is so superior?

Others might like to say where the photo is taken?

Dunno answers to either but it must be windy, even the buidings are listing...

John,

I reckon that's Cameret. Surperior club? - no idea!

Oh dear - Bav owners get more stick........ /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Cameret is correct. Sorry about the leaning phot - blame my daughter who took it as we departed a week and a half ago.

I didn't notice it was a Bav - and I certainly didn't intend to have a go at Bav owners, but if you know my background, you will understand why I was amused at the slight cock-up with the club burgee...

could it be because its a bavaria, and the courtesy flag at the superior position might be too much for the rigging

[/ QUOTE ]Hi Robert, Not sure about the idea of a superior club.... However, the owner of this particular bat was flying his club burgee 'superior' to the French courtesy flag.

Flame me if you like, but as a serving RN whose association do you think I would be amused by when they get their flags in a bit of a mix up?

That's because they're listed buildings...

I'll get my coat.

John,

Not RNVR - because he would be RNSA and not fly a red burgee with a certain design on it, but one like this:

you're gonna have to tell me then!

Arny Sailing Association. But he seems to be flying burgee from his port spreader too? Maybe he was hedging his bets.
