"By the early 1900s the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, the Derwent Sailing Squadron, and the Sandy Bay Sailing Club were taking shape as the hubs of yacht racing in the south. A little later, in 1926, the Bellerive Yacht Club was established." Greg Peart, "Companion to Tasmanian History."

"CLUB BURGEE
6.
The Club Burgee shall be white and triangular in shape with a blue horizontal and a blue vertical bar, centred on the burgee with a red diamond at the centre of the cross formed by the bars."

"FLAG OFFICER’S PENNANTS
9.
The Commodore’s pennant shall consist of the Club burgee with a swallowtail. Other Flag Officer’s pennants will be similar to the Commodore’s with the addition of the following distinguishing features: the Vice-Commodore’s shall have one red ball in the left-hand upper canton and the Rear-Commodore’s shall have two red balls placed horizontally in the left-hand upper canton. A Past Commodore’s pennant shall be similar to the Commodore’s with the letter “R” in red in the lower left-hand canton."

It's surprising to see that the main charge is not a cross, but rather two bars forming a cross. OTOH, it's rare to see officers flags that are well enough defined to at least have the locations of the balls specified.

I wonder about the ratio of the pennant, though: 4:11 is really long for a club standard. I wonder whether Bellerive Yacht Club can tell us anything about the burgees and officers' flags actually in use.
