announcement)

SAILING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. when about 300 feet from flag ship, skipper to
organize crew on deck in order of "increasing
height" from bow - ladies first.

2. when about 100 feet from flag ship, skipper
commands - SHIPS COMPANY - ATTENTION.

3. skipper steers to pass approximately 20 feet
off Flag Ship on South side.

4. as bow comes into line with commodore's ensign,
skipper only salutes if he/she is wearing a Yacht Cap
and either lowers ensign or luffs jib.

5. as stern clears, skipper terminates hand salute
and raises ensign or sheet the job.

7. after saluting the flag ship ALL vessels maintain

like nobody's watching at the commodore's ball.
