Flying the United States Yacht Ensign

• Originally restricted to documented vessels of a specific classification, it is now flown on recreational boats of all types and sizes instead of the National Flag Ensign
• Many U.S. yacht clubs now follow bylaws requiring that the Yacht ensign be flown regardless of boat size or documentation status
• The Yacht Ensign is NOT to be displayed when a boat is taken into international or foreign waters, the 50-star U.S. Ensign is the proper flag to display in international or foreign waters

Note Regarding Flag Sizing: Rule of thumb for choosing the correct size flag for your boat is to use 1" of flag length compared to 1 foot of boat length. Example would be a 35 foot boat would fly a 36" long flag
