"The meeting was held at the Castle Hotel in Wind
Street, Swansea on 24th February 1875 to promote a new yacht club. . . . to be
called the Bristol Channel Yacht Club and the station to be at The Mumbles;
that the new yacht club be amalgamated with the Mumbles Billiard Club . . . "
"Many members of the BCYC. have been members also of the Mumbles Yacht Club and
there developed, post [Second World] war, a close association between the 2
clubs."

The (German) Flaggenbuch 1905 states that the red ensign is used without
badge (i.e. undefaced) by different yacht clubs based on a warrant and lists
this yacht club as using the red ensign.
