Default Re: Flag displayed on a boat?

Hi, NAGAS260!

It's pretty much a universal custom that the national flag is flown on the stern, or on the aftermost mast. There's no law that says you can't fly it elsewhere, and on a small private vessel like yours it's not likely to matter. However, military regulations, yacht club rules and customs, and international custom all agree that the national flag should be flown on the stern.

The US Ensign, (either the Yacht Ensign or 50-Star flag) should be displayed at the stern of any vessel,preferably on its own flagstaff. If no separate flagstaff is available then flying it from the sternlight is an acceptible substitute. -YC
