Flag and burgee of Régates Cettoises - Images by Ivan Sache, 28 December 2020
The club's original burgee and flag were similar but with a "C" instead of a "S", referring to the club's original name, Régates Cettoises.
[Lloyd's Register of Yachts" 1896]
The name of the town was changed from Cette to Sète by a Decree issued on 20 January 1928, which validated the Decision issued on 27 August 1927 by the Municipal Council.
