Flag sizing should follow the general rule that the pole is 3 times the length of the flag. For example: a 2 metre flag should be flown from a 6 metre pole. For further information regarding pole sizing see  here.

A burgee is a distinguishing flag, regardless of its shape, of a recreational boating organization.
In most cases, they have the shape of a pennant. Members belonging to a sailing organization may fly their club's unique burgee both while underway and at anchor (however, not while racing). Sailing vessels may fly the burgee from the main masthead or from a lanyard under the starboard spreader on the mast. Power boats fly the burgee off a short staff on the bow.

Dressing Ship
Flag etiquette afloat can be a test of the knowledge, good taste and competency of the skipper. There are a number of "dos" and "don’ts" of flag etiquette for those who want to display correctly as different to merely hanging anything off the mast. A good example of bad etiquette is for a corporate or company vessel to fly the company flag from the stern (ensign) staff or gaff. Likewise, flying a foreign flag (wearing false colours) from this position is a grave breach of protocol, and in some countries would result in being arrested. The correct and only flag that should be flown from the stern or the gaff on Australian vessels is the Australian National Flag (blue) or the Australian Red Ensign.
Under the Federal Shipping Registration Act, 1981, the Australian Red Ensign was retained as the national colours of Australia’s merchant ships. Private pleasure craft were given the option of using this Red Ensign or the Australian National Flag. It is recommended that private craft wear the Red Ensign in home waters but use the national colours when overseas.
On national holidays and on special occasions it is suggested that private boats can join in the festive spirit and "dress ship". This is done with the international code of signal flags. On such a day the Red Ensign, or National Flag, should be raised on the stern (ensign) staff or peak of the gaff staff. Another can be flown at the masthead. There are 40 international code flags which can be flown on a dressing line from stem to stern. The code flag dressing lines should be kept taut with the flags evenly spaced and in the pattern recommended by the Royal Yachting Association.

The racing pennant – the existing pennant to be flown on yachts racing with Port Hacking Sailing shall continue to be used – as per Section 5, paragraph 20 of the Racing Handbook. Pennants must be displayed from a boat's backstay or, if no backstay, from some conspicuous location on the starboard side whenever possible. Once the current flags stock run-out the racing flag will be replaced with the new colours.

The club Burgee must not be flown whilst racing.
