The Royal Motor Yacht Club adopted its present burgee (a crown in the centre
of a red saltire edged in white on blue) when it took over the British Motor
Boat Club in 1933.

The saltire's fly end only extends to a point roughly in the middle of the
burgee on the club's burgees advertised for sale.

The item in the picture is an old Doulton Match Striker with a silver rim and
on it has been put an enamel on silver flag, as shown. It dates from 1903.

This was the burgee of the Motor Yacht Club. The club was founded by the
Royal Automobile Club in May 1905 as a separate body to carry on the work of its
Marine Motor Committee. A crown was added to the upper hoist when the club was
granted the title "Royal" in September 1910.

The Dumpy Book of Ships and the Sea (1957)
shows the burgee as similar to, but not the same as, that above; vertically
divided blue-white-blue with a three-finned propeller in the centre and a crown
at the honour point.
