Flag of Royal Albert Yacht Club

The Royal Albert Yacht Club and the Royal Naval Club are two separate clubs that amalgamated in 1971. The Royal Albert Yacht Club was founded at Southsea in 1864, was given the title Royal in 1865, and was granted the special ensign (a plain blue ensign) in probably 1866. It merged with the Royal Portsmouth Corinthian Yacht Club in 1946.

The Royal Portsmouth Corinthian Yacht Club used a red ensign with a crown on the Union. Granted 1880, cancelled 1930. Red / white / red burgee with crown above shield of Portsmouth (yellow crescent and star on blue shield) on the white. This is the same as the Royal St George 1847-1894, and Royal Victoria 1872-1898.

The burgee for the Royal Albert Yacht Club is a white fimbriated red cross on blue, with a St. Edward's crown on the cross.

Burgee

The Dumpy Book of Ships and the Sea (1957) shows the burgee of the Royal Portsmouth Corinthian Yacht Club as vertically divided red-white-red with the shield from the Portsmouth city arms (blue, with a yellow star over an upturned crescent, both yellow) surmounted by a crown.

Royal Naval Club

I think that this was not a yacht club. It was probably a naval social club that amalgamated with a yacht club.
David Prothero, 6 July 2014

 Indeed. I can't find anything more definite at the moment, but The Portsmouth News in its article "Discover real maritime treasures at historic club" (http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/life/discover-real-maritime-treasures-at-historic-club-1-4318105) mentions as it describes the history of the merged club: "The Royal Naval Club was formed in 1867 by four naval lieutenants serving on board HMS Bellerophon anchored off Spithead. The idea was to establish a watering hole and place of relaxation for naval officers who were often a long way from home."
So, it was neither established by yachters, nor intended for yachting. A "naval social club" sounds like a good description.
