After the war, in 1921 a revived Bay of Quinte Yacht Club applied again for
membership of the LYRA. In 1923 and 1925 they were the host for the LYRA
regatta. In at the least 1929 the burgee of the club was pictured in Lloyd's. By
1934, however, the club had again gone out of existence.
The burgee is
pictured in Lloyd's is a blue broad pennant with a sharp split, with a white
cross throughout, bearing on its horizontal arms the text "BELLEVILLE", and on
the vertical ones "BQ" resp. "YC"

After the war, in 1951, the third incarnation of the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club
came into being, and this is the current Bay of Quinte Yacht Club. At their
website, http://www.bqyc.ca, they picture a
different burgee from the one Lloyd's pictured for the second incarnation.
The club's constitution only gives the club's colours, as red and white.
However, judging by the logo on the website, the burgee is now a red triangle
bearing a white capital letter Q.
