The Royal Solent Yacht Club, who have their web site at
http://www.royalsolent.org, list in the
Rules of the Club, as amended at the General Meeting held on 21st April 2012:
"4. Burgee and Ensign
4.1 The Club burgee shall be blue, with device of
the Galley of Yarmouth in yellow, the mainmast of the Galley being surmounted by
the Imperial Crown.
4.2 The privileged Ensign of the Club is the undefaced
Blue Ensign which shall only be worn by Club Members in possession of a permit
issued to him or her by the Club and in accordance with the regulations issued
with the permit."
Additionally:
"6. Flag Officers
6.1 Flag Officers
of the Club shall consist of a Commodore, Vice Commodore and two Rear
Commodores. They shall fly broad pennants with the usual distinguishing marks of
rank."
The "usual distinguishing marks of rank" for British yacht clubs
would be:
- Commodore: Broad pennant version of the burgee.
-
Vice-Commodore: Same pennant as for the Commodore, with a white or black ball in
the upper corner.
- Rear Commodore: Same pennant as for the Vice-Commodore,
but with a second ball flyward next to the first. The choice of ball colour in
this is made by the club, usual for reasons of contrast; it's not free to make
for the individual.
This documents the five flags in use by the RSYC. The
website does show the burgee, but not in a version that shows the Galley clear
enough to draw.
