The Bay of Quinte Yacht Club of Belleville was established in 1876. Only five years later, their Atalanta sailed in challenge for the America's cup, 1881. [The Atalanta lost, mostly due to bad preparation.] In 1884 they were one of the four founding clubs of the Lake Yacht Racing Association, though they were so by proxy, having been unable to sent any delegates but having authorised to secretary of the Toronto to vote on their behalf.

By the turn of the century the club apparently had disappeared. The LYRA doesn't mention them for the start of the new century, no mention of the club is made in the news, and Lloyd's Register of American Yachts does not list it in its first editions.

I've been unable to find information on the burgee of this first incarnation of the club. The best I found is that a contemporary depiction of the Atalanta flies a dark burgee with a light stripe of some sort: http://www.georgeglazer.com/archives/prints/sports/maritime/ciamercup.html. There may be a light hoist or just a gap; there just isn't enough detail in the image to determine the details.

As far as I can see, the club is already no longer listed in the American Yacht List of 1896. Apparently this first incarnation didn't reach the turn of the century as an active yacht club.

After the war, in 1921 a revived Bay of Quinte Yacht Club applied again for membership of the LYRA. In 1923 and 1925 they were the host for the LYRA regatta. In at the least 1929 the burgee of the club was pictured in Lloyd's. By 1934, however, the club had again gone out of existence.

The burgee is pictured in Lloyd's is a blue broad pennant with a sharp split, with a white cross throughout, bearing on its horizontal arms the text "BELLEVILLE", and on the vertical ones "BQ" resp. "YC"

After the war, in 1951, the third incarnation of the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club came into being, and this is the current Bay of Quinte Yacht Club. At their website, http://www.bqyc.ca, they picture a different burgee from the one Lloyd's pictured for the second incarnation.

The club's constitution only gives the club's colours, as red and white. However, judging by the logo on the website, the burgee is now a red triangle bearing a white capital letter Q.
