Description of the flag

Estb: 1933. Location: 635 East Chestermere Drive, Chestermere, AB.

Calgary Yacht Club - CYC Shed - 1933 to 2020

"The story of the present burgee probably starts in the early 1980s when Peter White was Commodore. . . . We were talking about needing a design for a new burgee and he (Peter White) quickly pulled out a bar napkin and drew the design on it. We all loved it. It was two boats sailing upwind with a wake behind them. I think that over time the line between the boats and wake has gotten thicker and/or longer and it sometimes looks like a flying goose."
