Established 1872, this is the special yachting ensign and burgee of the Gamlakarleby Segelförening. The text about the ensign's logo says:

Translated to English:
The municipal arms of Gamlakarleby crowned with a count's crown.
Jose C. Alegría, 03 February 2002
quote translated from Swedish image by Ivan Sache, 03 February 2002
Gamlakarleby (I guess Old Karleby) is known in Finnish
as Kokkola. It is located on the Gulf of Bothnia.
Ivan Sache, 03 February 2002
Gamlakarleby does mean Old Karleby (or really "Oldkarleby"),
but the town readopted its original name Karleby in 1979. I suppose this does not
necessarily mean that the sailing society changed its name accordingly. "New Karleby"
is a smaller town further south on the coast, which in Swedish is called Nykarleby
and in Finnish Uusikarlepyy.

An example of a Finnish ensign for private boats is the one for the members of
Pargas Boat Club.
The letters PBK are for the Swedish name of the club, and the letters PVK for the Finnish name of the club. A better image of the club
badge can be seen at http://at8.abo.fi/pvk/
or http://at8.abo.fi/pbk/.
Elias Granqvist, 17 May 2006
At this page the
image shows the badge in detail.
(There's just enough margin in the photograph to show bits of three of the edges, so the relative size should be determinable as well.)

An error in translation then lead me to Puotilan Venekerho r.y (Puotila Boat Club), who
definitely know at what page the flag ought to be shown. A 16-point compass star, with the letters P, V, and K next to it.
