The burgee of TCYC, as seen hoisted over a boat on a photograph taken during the "Australia Day 2008" Regatta, is red with a triangle covering all the middle of the flag and two smaller triangles placed along the hoist, and the black letters T.C.Y.C., with letter size decreasing from left to right, in the middle triangle.
