Flag of Royal Albert Yacht Club

The Royal Albert Yacht Club and the Royal Naval Club are two separate clubs that amalgamated in 1971. The Royal Albert Yacht Club was founded at Southsea in 1864, was given the title Royal in 1865, and was granted the special ensign (a plain blue ensign) in probably 1866. It merged with the Royal Portsmouth Corinthian Yacht Club in 1946.

The Royal Portsmouth Corinthian Yacht Club used a red ensign with a crown on the Union. Granted 1880, cancelled 1930. Red / white / red burgee with crown above shield of Portsmouth (yellow crescent and star on blue shield) on the white. This is the same as the Royal St George 1847-1894, and Royal Victoria 1872-1898.

Burgee

The Dumpy Book of Ships and the Sea (1957) shows the burgee of the Royal Portsmouth Corinthian Yacht Club as vertically divided red-white-red with the shield from the Portsmouth city arms (blue, with a yellow star over an upturned crescent, both yellow) surmounted by a crown.
