In the 1902 edition of Lloyd’s Register of Yachts the shield is white and the
lion is red. The border of the shield, however, is yellow. This is still the
case in 1927, which suggest it's not just a mistake made when the club was first
included. In 1937, the club has disappeared from the register.
When in
2000 the current website is archived for the first time, it shows a similar
burgee, but now the shield has a white border. I'm tempted to say that 1900 was
the first time their burgee was shown,and it wasn't shown entirely correct that
time. By 1902, the problem would then have been corrected.
I also wonder
whether there really was such sailing club in 1937 and after. Could the current
club be more recent?

"Saltash does not have an official coat of arms, but has used a heraldic seal
for many centuries. The seal shows the arms of the ancient Earls of Cornwall.
The red crowned lion is also found in the arms of the Devon county Council. The
black border with gold bezants is a familiar symbol of Corn well. The Earls of
Cornwall were Lords of Saltash. The shield is placed between two ostrich
feathers and ensigned by a crown, which are taken from the arms of the Duchy of
Cornwall.”

It is not known when the club changed its burgee
design.
