Description of the flag

The flag is the defaced Blue Ensign of the Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club, which carries (as do all British Ensigns) the Union Flag in its canton (or upper left corner), with a yellow shamrock below a St Edward's Crown in the fly half (or on the side opposite to the Union). The Club Burgee is, of course, triangular with a blue field bearing the same shamrock and crown. Unfortunately however, I do not have a date when this particular Ensign was authorized. Christopher Southworth , 14 February 2005

The Club was formed in 1899 by an amalgamation of the Ulster Sailing Club with the Cultra Yacht Club, and was initially called the North of Ireland Yacht Club. It was given the title Royal by King Edward VII on 2nd September 1902, and granted a special ensign by Admiralty Warrant in 1903. David Prothero , 14 February 2005

A brief history of the club can be found at http://www.rniyc.org/aboutus.htm . I used a 9 pearls per arch Tudor crown as this is how the RNIYC depicts its badge, and would prefer it to be illustrated. With that said, there are also actual samples of RNIYC ensigns and burgees utilizing the St. Edward's crown. The images shown here are approved by the club. Clay Moss , 13 October 2008

This an interesting example where the style of crown on a yacht ensign and burgee is entirely at the discretion of the club concerned - here we have a club which prefers (at least officially) the former pattern over that which is current. I notice that you use a rather more detailed trefoil (or shamrock if you prefer) than that usually seen in illustrations, and may we assume that this is also at the club's request? Christopher Southworth , 13 October 2008

The Dumpy Book of Ships and the Sea (1957) shows the burgee as a yellow shamrock surmounted by a crown on a blue field. James Dignan , 12 February 2008

Lough Erne Yacht Club

Following the establishment and initial success of the Enniskillen Yacht Club, permission and cooperation was acquired from Linton Hope, Hilditch and the RNIYC to build a fleet of Fairy boats for this club. This second batch of boats still use the original Gunter rig to this day. The EYC gradually faded out of existence, with its boats ands assets transferring over to the re-formed Lough Erne Yacht Club in the 1940s. The class still sails on Lough Erne, over 114 years after launching.
