The image attached shows a yellow anchor and crown, shouldn't it be a white
anchor with a full color crown?
Jose C. Alegria, 04 Nov 2007
I caught Fred's comments to the contrary as well after I had drawn the image.
However, according to RCYC officials, my rendition is correct. It is on their
website and they verified my actual drawing.
It might be worth looking into to see if the burgee did in fact look like Fred's
description in the past.

by Franc van Diest, 26 Jan 2002. The RNYC is the oldest of all the sport clubs in South Africa and the oldest yacht club in Southern Hemisphere.
It was founded in May 1858 as the Durban Regatta Club and its name was later changed
to Natal Yacht Club. In 1891, the club received a Royal Charter as Royal Natal Yacht
Club. The club burgee is a 3:5 triangular flag with a Scandinavian cross
blue-red-blue and a royal crown in canton. The crown on my image should
be credited to Tod Mills.
