The ensign of the St Helier Yacht Club is a Red Ensign with superimposed
Warrant issued by the Lieutenant-Governor with Admiralty approval, 12th May 1952. Uniquely granted as a Battle Honour in recognition of services by member's yachts in the evacuation of the crew of HMS Wild Swan, a destroyer that had taken part in the operation to demolish the lock gates in St Malo on 17th June 1940. The club had requested a fouled anchor badge on a Blue Ensign but this was refused by the Admiralty who offered a plain anchor or the Arms of Jersey on a Red Ensign. For services during WWII and especially at Dunkirk, a defaced Blue Ensign was awarded to the Thames Motor Yacht Club in 1951. [Colours of the Fleet by M. Farrow and ADM 1/23993]
David Prothero, 14 November 2000
The ensign of the club is a Red Ensign charged in the fly with a pair of gold
axes placed per saltire and a gold anchor overall.
