The burgee can be seen on the club website at
http://iol.ie/~dbscsec/, where it is shown
as a white pennant with a broad red St. Patrick's style cross and an anchor
(dark blue or black) at the centre.

The Dublin Bay Sailing Club, Ireland – founded in 1884 - is, according to
this quote from the ‘About Us’ section of the club’s website:
http://www.dbsc.org
“the largest
yacht-racing organisation on the Irish east coast. With fifteen hundred members,
the Club provides regular weekly racing for upwards of 380 yachts, ranging from
ocean-going forty footers to small dinghies for juniors. The Club operates from
Dun Laoghaire, a major marine recreational centre and ferry port six miles to
the south of Dublin. The members are drawn for the most part from the four local
yacht clubs and Dun Laoghaire Marina...”
Special mention deserves the
locally popular wooden yacht, the Mermaid:

is taken from the ‘Gallery’ (upper menu), Prize Giving 2009 album, last but one
photo. The burgee is white with a broad red saltire bearing at its centre a
black anchor, flukes towards the lower hoist – the St Patrick’s or Fitzgerald
cross comes to mind.
