Yacht Club Etiquette

Yacht Club Etiquette

P/C Joseph A. Tringali, author of "Yachting Customs and Courtesies"

Protocol answers from

"Mr. Manners of the Club Scene."

Flag and Etiquette issues often present problems for new yacht club officers. That's why Past Commodore Joseph A. Tringali began writing Yachting Customs and Courtesies.

The book was an instant success, and club members around the world began asking him for advice on very real issues that occur in many clubs.

In 2002, Soundings, the Nation's Boating Newspaper, called P/C Tringali "Mr. Manners of the Club Scene."

This website answers a few of the many questions asked by yacht club officers. Just click on the directory at the left to see how they were answered.

This is the book you've been waiting for -- the latest and greatest edition of the "bible" of yacht club protocol.

Greatly expanded chapters from the second edition, PLUS all-new chapters on leadership principles, boating activities and how to run a meeting, PLUS an updated Stars Register of Clubs & Flags, with over 800 full-color yacht club burgees and listings (including web sites and e-mail addresses) for over 2,000 worldwide clubs. This book belongs in every yacht club library and is a "must have" book for every club officer and member.

Nineteen full color chapters - 480 pages in all - with scripts and floor diagrams for every club ceremony. "You'll always know where to stand with Tringali's Red Book in hand."
