Flag etiquette is clear in our club- Flag officers receive a flag with
either one (rear) two (vice) or three (commodore) 'bare feet'. Same graphic
that is on the club burgee. http://www.cmcs-sail.org
Toes up if you are the current flag officer; toes down if you are a past
officer.

So I see two boats each with a club burgee from the same club and each with
a commodore's flag??? So which one is really the commodore? Don't you
think there would be a rule somewhere that states a past commodore
shouldn't fly a commodore's flag.
I quit flying my flag officer flag once I was no longer a flag officer at
my club. Actually, now that I think about it, I never flew the darn thing
at all. :)
