The officers of a yacht club may fly various burgees appropriate to their rank: for example, the commodore may fly a swallow-tailed version of the club burgee (and the vice- and rear-commodores the same, but distinguished by the addition of one or two balls respectively at the canton). A past-commodore may also be given a distinctively-shaped flag.
Members belonging to a yacht club or sailing organization may fly their club's unique burgee both while underway and at anchor (however, not while racing). Sailing vessels may fly the burgee from the main masthead or from a lanyard under the starboard spreader on the mast. [2] Power boats fly the burgee off a short staff on the bow.
A pig stick (occasionally pigstick [1] or pig-stick [2]) is a staff that carries a flag or pennant, usually the burgee of the boat owner's yacht club or private signal, above a mast of a sailboat. [3]
There are additional floating docks to the east of the bridge which have water. During the season, the docks are reached by tender service. In addition to floating docks, there are a number of moorings to the east of the bridge that are also serviced by the club's tender. The club has a 30-ton Travilift and a crane to haul yachts and step masts.
There is no single route or itinerary to complete the loop. To avoid winter ice and summer hurricanes, boaters generally traverse the Great Lakes and Canadian waterways in summer, travel down the Mississippi or the Tennessee–Tombigbee Waterway in fall, cross the Gulf of Mexico and Florida in the winter, and travel up the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in the spring.

A yacht ensign is a flag allowed by some nations to be hoisted as the national ensign (instead of the civil ensign) by yachts. As with any other civil ensign , the yacht ensign is the largest flag on board, and is normally flown at the stern (rear) of the ship.
