The actual Club flag is an oblong version (see on new website)
Doug Wilson, Past Commodore, 30 April 2007
The club's Past Commodore Doug Wilson mentioned that the actual club flag was
oblong, but did not mention what the burgee shape is used for. According to the
newsletter for the yacht club, both do exist for the yacht club, but whether the
oblong version is intended as club flag, used on land and the burgee as club
standard, on board, it doesn't say. I've also not been able to find By Laws to
confirm the descriptions; that part of the club rules may not be on-line.

The newsletter (March
2012, at least) calls them burgees and large flags - perhaps the oblong version
is used whenever a larger flying object is required. I don't know whether
references to the "club flag" as a class flag for races should be read to mean a
rectangular one rather than a burgee.
