Burgee of YCPSB - Image by Ivan Sache, 4 February 2018
In April 2016, ANL was renamed to Yacht Club Pays de Saint-Brieuc (YCPSB). "Yacht Club" was considered more significant and attractive for young
members than "Association nautique", while "Pays de Saint-Brieuc" was
considered more representative of the diversity of the members than "Légué".
No longer affiliated with the French Sailing Federation, YCPSB withdrew from the organization of the Grand Prix de la Baie de Saint-Brieuc.

Flag of YCVA - Image by Ivan Sache, 23 July 2006
The municipality of Pléneuf-Val-André (3,965 inhabitants in 2006; 1,707 ha) is located 20 km east of Saint-Brieuc. Originally known as Plou Nevez ("The New Settlement), the village was probably settled in the 5th century on the site of a former Roman camp.
The sea resort of Val-André was created in 1880 by Charles Cottard, a collaborator of Ferdinand de Lesseps, the builder of the Canal of Suez. This wide, low valley ending in a large sand beach was then known as Val en Dret. Within a few years, a promenade, villas and hotels were built and the new resort merged with Pléneuf.
The port of Dahouët emerged in the beginning of the 15th century as
a place from which grain and cider produced in the hinterland were
shipped. The masons and carpentars of the village were also famous. The
port developed in the 19th century with the Grande Pêche in
Newfoundland; quays were built in 1822 only.
Yacht Club du Val-André (YCVA; website), based in the port of Dahouët, organizes the race Trois jours d'Armor
(Dahouët-Jersey-Dahouët).
The burgee of YCVA is quartered red-blue by a white saltire. It might have been inspired by the municipal arms of Pléneuf-Val-André, "Gules fretty argent a chief sable a lion passant guardant between in chief four and in base three escallops fesswise argent").
