Royal Victorian Motor Yacht Club.
Established Williamstown, Melbourne,
1904.
Initially named the Victorian Launch Club, later changed to Victorian
Motor Boat Club.
18 February 1937. Granted title ’royal’. Perhaps ‘Boat’ was
changed to ‘Yacht’ at this time ?
24 November 20007. Warrant for plain Blue
Ensign.
Blue burgee: pale yellow (or white ?) cross, red propeller in upper
hoist, five point white star in lower hoist.
This was the first plain
Blue Ensign to be awarded to a yacht club, that was not connected to one of the
armed forces, since 1924.
