Apparently, in 1946, a new yacht club was created, and it happened to use a name that was already in use. (The name again may have been dormant because of the war.)

By 1949, Lloyd's lists two Brooklyn Yacht Clubs: One the star on red, and the other a burgee blue before red per hoistward chevron with a centred white capital B, and smaller white capital Y at the hoist and C at the fly.

In 1950, neither of the two is shown in Lloyd's. Then in 1951, Lloyd's shows the blue-yellow burgee shown above. By 1954, it's no longer shown. In Lloyd's 1963, the Brooklyn Yacht club of 1946 is listed for the address of the current BYC, making it likely the 1951 burgee belongs with the current club, even if they don't picture a burgee themselves.
