Presentation of the VVW

The VVW was founded in Antwerp in 1932, as the Vlaamsche Vereeniging voor Watertoerisme, in opposition to French-speaking yacht clubs.
The VVW seems to unite an impressive number of clubs (sailing, diving, canoeing...) It seems that there are two kinds of clubs affiliated to the VVW:
- associated (geassocierde) clubs, which fly their own burgee on the main mast and the VVW burgee on the port side.
- integrated (geintegreeerde) clubs, which fly the VVW burgee on the main mast, except if they have a specific club burgee. In this latter case, they follow the associated clubs' etiquette.

Burgee of the VVW

The burgee of the VVW is a triangular yellow flag with a black cross voided throughout and the VVW emblem in canton. Possibly the stylized bird emblem on the flag is the blauwvoet, symbolic of Flemish aspirations since the XIXth century.
The image shown above, as well as the other images on this page, was drawn after the VVW website (flag etiquette page).

The flag of the board members of the clubs forming the VVW is similar to the VVW burgee, with a black disk placed in the lower left quarter.
