white Maltese cross. It can be seen on the club website at

“Ballyholme Yacht Club is located on Ballyholme Bay within the town of
Bangor, and at the entrance to Belfast Lough”, operates a training centre and
has a diving section as well. Website of this Northern Ireland (UK) club:
http://www.ballyholme.com/.
We
learn that BYC was founded in 1900 to provide yachting to the less wealthy. Due
to members’ absence while serving during WWI, the club had to be refounded in
1919; during WWII on the other hand racing was suspended in 1940 only. Mention
is made of a bar opening, finally, in 1971. Much of the club history (rightly)
concerns the clubhouses and other amenities, how various classes of boats were
adopted or abandoned, etc.
The 2008 Club Rules describe the burgee as
follows: “ 3. Club Burgee. The Club Burgee shall have a blue background on which
is superimposed the Club Device consisting of a Gold Anchor running through a
White Maltese Cross.” Quoted from:
http://www.ballyholme.com/documents/membership/club_rules_2008.pdf.
A very large, clickable drawing however is found here:

Instead of the anchor
“running through” - as the official phrase has it - I would say that the Maltese
cross is placed before the anchor. This “device” then is placed near the hoist.
