But what is a Burgee and house flag

---

The distinction i would make, but others may have a strict definition, is that burgees are triangular, house flags are rectangular. (In GB at least)

As for Moody1's comment about never seeing burgees or house flags at the masthead of merchant ships maybe that's because they don't belong to yacht clubs So no burgee to fly but they do very often fly house flags from the yardarm (starboard side I think) in port.
