This appears to be a burgee of the Victoria Nyanza Sailing Club [VNSC - located in Uganda], albeit a slightly different version of the current design.

A cropped version of the current VNSC burgee - this one needs a good artist´s hand.

This is the image of the original Burgee of the Victoria Nyansa Sailing Club. This Burgee was the official one used in the 1950's and early 1960's. The sailing club was and still is situated on lake Victoria at Kaazi in Uganda. The Letters vertically arranged and a depiction of a white Gull. I hope this helps.

Has anybody made a drawing of this burgee? I have e-mailed the VNSC club asking for an image of their current burgee.

The Complete Lloyd's Register of Yachts for 1939 is the first listing for: Victoria Nyanza Sailing Club, established 1935; Kampala, Uganda. At that time, no burgee is pictured.
In the 1959 edition, the club is pictured in Lloyd's with burgee, though as a late entry. The burgee that year is the same as a seller used two years later to illustrate a copy of the 1961 flag booklet. It's also the same as the last depiction by Lloyd's, in the 1971 final flags booklet.
I don't know whether the club had a burgee before 1959, or after 1971, but between those two years, it Lloyd's consistently pictures this specific burgee.

I just received the following message from Harriet Fowler, Victoria Nyanza Sailing Club Secretary:
"Greetings to you at this strange time! Emmanuel our manager forwarded your query about the Club burgee to me - I am the Secretary. Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. We do in fact still use both logos (attached). The bird is a fish eagle - very typical in Lake Victoria (Nyanza, Nalubaale depending whose name you use!) Best wishes and let me know if we can send you any more information."
I have requested more information for FOTW illustrators.
