Yacht Club Officers Flags
Yacht club officers flags identify the officers of a yacht club and are an important part of traditional yacht-club flag etiquette.
These flags are typically flown by the club’s commodore, vice commodore, rear commodore, and other designated officers. The specific flags and flying positions can vary from club to club.
Common yacht club officer flags include:
- Commodore Flag: Flown by the club’s commodore.
- Vice Commodore Flag: Flown by the vice commodore.
- Rear Commodore Flag: Flown by the rear commodore.
- Past Commodore Flag: Used by a former commodore when authorized by the club.
Officer flags are commonly displayed on a vessel when the corresponding officer is aboard or during official yacht club events and ceremonies.
For yacht clubs and boaters, traditional officer flags add a distinctive nautical touch while identifying the leadership of the club.
