![[ Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron ]](../images/n/nz@rnzys.gif)
image by Jose C. Alegria, 12 February 2000New Zealand´s defending Club [for the Louis Vuitton Cup] is the Royal
New Zealand Yacht Squadron, Auckland, New Zealand. Established in [1859]. In
1902, the Club was granted both the title "Royal" and the right to
use the blue Ensign. I don´t know if the use of the blue ensign is still
allowed. Their burgee is blue, with a white cross of St. George, and 4 white
five-pointed stars in the canton, and a Royal St. Edward´s crown at the
arms' intersection.

The R.N.Z.Y.S., which when first formed was known as the Auckland Y.C., still
uses the undefaced Blue Ensign.
In 1976 its Flag Officers (only) were authorized to use the White Ensign of
the Royal New Zealand Navy.

A sketch in the The Dumpy book of ships and the sea [sam57] shows this burgee with the four stars in the
upper quadrant arranged differently [each top star to the left of the one below].
