Roei- en Zeilvereniging Jason, Arnhem, Gelderland province, after image
on this website: a burgee blue
over white, with in the center a yellow disk fimbriated red, charged with
an ancient trireme with one sail, all red.
Club founded in 1927.

"Jason", Arnhem: officially the yellow disk has no red fimbriation.

Jason was mythological hero who had to fetch the Golden Fleece from
Colchis (at the Eastcoast of the Black Sea). That he did with his ship
the "Argo". These elements return in the flag above; the colors blue/white
are from the Arnhem flag/arms and often
standardcolors for a watersportclub (water and air).

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Watersportvereniging "Joure en Omstreken", Joure (Skarsterlân municipality,
Fryslân province) - a green burgee with near the hoist a letter ring, containing
intertwined red letters WJ.

The Koninklijk Watersportverbond doesn't list them as related to Joure, and so
they go a bit under the radar. Having found this flag, it lead me to
http://www.jwsjoure.nl.
Joure is a market town and the
watersportvereniging (I translated it as "Watersports Club") has its
harbours and address outside the town, thus they are not shown as a Jouster
club.
According to their history, they date from 1932, but in 1937 they
got royal approval, and as such they became the "Jouster Watersport" - "JWS",
with a new flag.
In their history, at
http://www.jwsjoure.nl/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Geschiedenis-80-jaar-JWS.pdf,
on page 14, is a fair image of both flags. (Or rather, the old pennant and the
current flag. The current flag may also have a pennant version, and our old
pennant seems to look somewhat differently.)
