1.2     Concepts and Interpretations (excerpt from J. Rial's "Dictionary of the Brotherhood of the Coast")

1.2.1       Table: Symbolizes a ship with its entire crew. It can be formed by a minimum of 7 Brothers or Aspirants and a maximum of 15 people.

1.2.2      Aspirant: Candidate who has been actively involved in the work of the Table for 2 years. It accepts the spirit of the Octalogo and the National Statutes. He pays the annual tribute. He has the right to consult, but not to vote.

1.2.3       Brother: the inaugurated member of the Brotherhood, unanimously accepted by the members of the Table, voted. If there is only one "no" vote, the Aspirant cannot be initiated as a brother. Majority voting has no place in the Brotherhood. Brotherhood shall remain in effect until sailing or sailing off. The resulting bitacora number cannot be disclosed to anyone else. It is an important status as it has been promoted not only to the national table but also to the International Brotherhood.

1.2.4       Zaffarancho: gathering, meeting, ship council. It can be closed or open. Closed Zaff. Is attended only by the Brothers of the Table, and typically these are election rallies for the first time each year, preferably in January. The rest of the Zaffs are open to Aspirants, Captives, invited guests.

1.2.5       Captive: (prisoner) the name of a wife, permanent or temporary girlfriend in the Brotherhood.

1.2.6       Octalogo: Literally, the 8 commandments that are universally accepted by all Brotherhood organizations in the world. The rules were adopted by the Founding Brothers on November 7, 1951 in Chile.

1.2.7       National Council: is the main governing body of the Brotherhood of zhe Coast Hungaria. Its members are the National Captain, the Table Captains, the "Commodore, and the Connetable.

1.2.8       He is in the fog: we apply it to a brother who by his own decision has lost interest in the brotherhood. Although he remains a brother for the rest of his life, brotherhood may decide to sail. This must be done within the legal framework.

1.2.9       Orza: literally meaning "Forward to the Wind!". Now we use it in the Zaff sense for "our health".

1.2.10  Golpe de Canone: he always conducts Spanish in order to respect the traditions. There are two ways to do this: one after the barrels are shot, the command shot, the other is a salute to the longer four corners of the Chilean Brothers, and then a shot after the barrels are confirmed. Both are used.

1.2.11  Tribute: The Brothers pay tribute to their forearms with their arms crossed and their fists closed.

1.2.12 Sarc: the amount to be paid annually as laid down in the statutes. The brothers decide on the amount by majority vote. Both brothers and aspirants are subject to the payment obligation, regardless of their current status. (Obligation for a brother lost in fog, too.)

1.3 Statutes of the National and Balaton Tables

       Edited in a separate menu item!

1.4   Duties, rights, missions, obligations

1.4.1.1     National Captain: represents our Brotherhood at the National Captains Meeting, oversees and assists the work of the Table Captains. Liaises with leaders of the International Brotherhood. After consultation and checking, you will resolve any disputes that may arise during the operation of our Brotherhood. There is no appeal against his decision. Appointed and elected by the National Council for 5 years.

1.4.1.2     National Scribe, National Guard: Its role is to assist and represent the National Captain and to provide international information to the Brotherhood's national organizations. He is responsible for the maintenance of international relations. The National Captain communicates with the Tables below through the National Scribe.

1.4.1.3     Captain of the Table: manages, organizes, and represents the Table in the National Council. The commands and decisions made in the life of the Table are binding on the brotherss of the Table. The desk position elector (first of each year) is a Zaff candidate and is elected for a two-year term, renewable.

1.4.1.4     Scribe: Caretaker of the Logbook. Authentically records details of your desktop activity. When you get an assignment, you manage your desktop finances. Records Brothers and Aspirants, tracks and documents changes. The first Zaff of the year reports on the activities and management of the previous year. It shall provide written information to the National Scribe on any occurrence of the Table. The Captain of the Table communicates with him through the brothers of the Table.

1.4.1.5     Commodore: Commander, the distinguishing name of the former National Captains.

1.4.1.6     Connetable: Distinctive designation of the former Table Captains. Those who work in fraternity can also get this title.

1.4.1.7     Name use: At Brotherhood events, the brothers address and use their chosen name. Event documents and the logbook are signed with the chosen name.

1.4.1.8     Communication: in the brotherhood, the written word is the basis of communication. Therefore, all event information and invitations will be sent in written form by e-mail. All brothers and aspirants should and must respond to written notices (Zaff. Convocation, invitation to programs, etc.).

1.5 Rules and organization of Zaffaranches

1.5.1 Zaffarancho shall be convened by the National or Table Captains and notified in writing by the scribe. As is customary in previous years, we usually organize open Zaffs, except for the annual gathering. Attendance at zaff is recommended for all brothers, as they can actively participate in the work of the table and enforce their decisions and opinions.

1.5.2 The attire required by Zaff is included in the invitation, which is mandatory for all brothers who appear. The Hungarian Brotherhood prescribes two types of attire: casual, which is the casual one, where only Tricorno (hat) is used, and formal, which is formal attire: dark gray or navy, (possibly black9 pants, a white shirt, a fraternity tie, (including bow tie), and a double-breasted navy jacket with the Brother rank, and of course Tricorno.

1.5.3 At the Zaff, the Table Flag shall be displayed in a prominent position. If the Zaff is linked to shipping, the brothers' flags must also be raised on the ship.

1.5.4 According to the Zaffs' protocol, the Scribe greets the congregation, the guests, reads the Octalogo, presents the agenda, and invites the Captain to speak. After that, Zaff will continue under his command. In closing, the Captain commands Golpe de Canone.

1.6 The Inauguration Ceremony:

In any case, initiation into brotherhood must be done at National Zaff. or International Zaff. The command is given by the National Scribe. Requisites for initiation are provided by the Table. These include the eye-catching, knee-cushion, as well as 3 small and 2 large flags with a bitacora number. Following the inauguration ceremony, the Brother inaugurated is greeted by all Brother present. He then receives from the National Captain his personal gift, a rose of the cap and the coat of arms of the jacket. Tricorno must be taken care of by the inaugurated Brother. For the welcome Golpe de Canone, the inaugurated Brother must provide rum.

1.7 Protocol of the sailed off Brother:

At the funeral of a sailed Brother, the Brethren attend, the grave is laid round and honored. After the funeral they gather in a neutral place and after 4 bells they go on their usual farewell.

The Brothers stand up, salute.

A ship with full sail left the harbor!

The Captain: Who controls the ship?

The answer: ……. Brother!

The Captain: What's your direction, where did you go?

The answer: Towards the Sea of Eternity!

The Captain: My Brothers …… ..Our brother has sailed forever. Let your path be peaceful and help the winds.

He then commands a Golpe de Canon in honor of the sailed off Brother.

2 Document Handling Rules

2.1 Bitacora: an international record kept by the National Scribe on the national brothers. In Bitacora, you cannot delete, just enter. The aspirant does not receive a Bitacora number until after the decision to initiate. Until then, your name and other details will be listed among aspirants, where you will be marked with which table to aspire to.

2.2 Logbook: Each Table has a logbook that lists the chronological life of the table and the signatures of the participants in chronological order. Keeping a logbook and keeping it up to date is the responsibility of the table scribe.

4 Other

4.1.1 Flag Brothers Rule:

· In domestic waters, on the right, pulling up to the first bow.

· In international waters, where the national flag is on the right, to the left, up to the first bow. (other flags cannot cast shadows on the Flags of the Brotherhood)

4.1.2 Anthem: During the Zaffarancho of the Brussels World, the Jewish Choir (Va 'Pensiero) from Verdi Nabucco became the informal anthem of the Brotherhood. The 1994 Chilean and 1998 World Zaffaranches were closed with this anthem.

Va’ Pensiero

                Mint a fecske repülj messze földre,

                        Színarany szárnyú gondolat repülj el,

                        Rég nem látott hazámba kerülj el,

                        Vár a hőn szeretett szép otthoni táj!

                        Üdvözöld várunk száz ősi tornyát,

                        Nézz az áldott, az egykor oly virágzó völgybe..

                        Tudd meg bús földünk szánalmas sorsát,

                        Ó az emlék hogy kínoz, hogy fáj!

                        Bölcsek lantja a fűzfának ágán,

                        Ó miért lett oly néma a húrja?

                        Zengjen, áradjon dallama újra,

                        Mondja el hogy mily szép volt a múlt.

                        Kelljen életre mindenki száján,

                        Szálljon bátran a feltámadt ének.

                        Adjon hangot e sorsűzött népnek,

                        Mely a bús szívekben új lángot gyújt,

                        Mely a bús szívekben új lángot gyújt,

                        Mely a bús szívekben új lángot gyújt,

                        Fénye új lángot gyújt….
