Founded 1906, the first
yacht club in Brazil. The burgee, with three white stars on a red field, is
similar to that of the more prominent IC Rio de Janeiro, which has three
gold stars on blue, but I don't know if there's a connection.

Burgee

The club statute describes the flag and burgee (corneta)
of the club but does not illustrate them. I used the anchor depicted on the club badge as the
model. The club, founded in 1884, has its in-town clubhouse at Botafogo Beach, its yachting
facility at Charitas in Niterói, across Guanabara Bay, and its social and rowing
facility at Piraquê in Rio's Zona Sul.

Founded 1899, apparently the first rowing club in Rio. The burgee as shown on
the club badge is light blue with the club initials CRG in the hoist. It now
includes sailing as well as rowing among its activities.

social activities over sailing. The English connection will be obvious--it's a pennant of St. George.
