![[Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron burgee]](../images/a/au~rmysb.gif)

Mr. Neil Freeman provided me with the spec sheet for the burgee.
Clay Moss, 19 July 2007
We don't have those specifications, but from the image, they appear to be
something like:
A burgee with ratio 1:2, red with a centred white cross whose
arms are 1/10 of the fly in width, with a crown at the centre of burgee and
cross, and a white seven-pointed star one point straight up, its spanning circle
with a diameter of 1/4th the hoist centred in the upper quadrant.
I found
a photograph at the squadron's own website, at
http://www.rmys.com.au/?Page=56036 [no longer available] that is different from
our image, where the cross is not centred, having it shifted much further
towards the hoist, and the star appears to be smaller as well, maybe only as
wide as an arm of the cross. As the photograph is newer than our image, I
wonder: Don't they keep to their own specifications, or have they changed those
specifications since Clay made our image?
