The current burgee, as can seen at the above website, seems to have replaced the royal crown with a red merlion* and the Straits Settlements badge has been replaced with a white lozenge with a map of Singapore rendered in red.

* The merlion is a creature that has a fish's body and a lion head, created by the Singapore Tourism Board. A statue of this creature is placed at the mouth of the Singapore River, and is quite a tourist attraction here in Singapore"
"Part-fish, part lion, the Merlion is a fitting icon of Singapore as legend has it that the Singa, or lion, which Indonesian Prince Sang Nila Utama first caught a glimpse of on the island was seen near this very spot. The Prince then decided to name the island 'Singapura' which in Sanskrit means Lion (Singa) City (Pura).

Integrating the lion head with the body of a fish was a way to pay tribute to Singapore's history as Temasek - the ancient sea town." From http://www.tourismsingapore.com/Discover/whatLandmarkMerlion.asp

This burgee has been used for "The Republic of Singapore Yacht Club" since 1967.

It seems that from the above site, the former burgee of the Singapore Yacht Club was a blue pennant with a white cross throughout. It had the royal crown in the canton and the lozenge badge of the Straits Settlements is defaced on the lower hoist.

The old burgee with the "crown" was used from 1924 to 1966. At that point in time, we are called "The Royal Singapore Yacht Club".

Changi Sailing Club

image by Zachary Harden, 7 November 2018

The Changi Sailing Club was founded in 1936 as the Changi Garrison Yacht Club by Army Engineers of the British Army (using a pennant of red and blue). After WWII, the club was reformed and was called the R.A.F. Changi Yacht Club. The club was handed over to local control in 1971 after the British military left Singapore. The club took its present name in 1973 (with another rebranding in 1988). The burgee is the logo of the club on white; the logo adoption is unknown. The burgee can be seen (and sold from their website).

SAF Yacht Club

Burgee; image by Zachary Harden, 7 November 2018

The SAF Yacht Club, founded in 1967 as the SAF Boat Club, took its current name in 1969. The SAFYC is mostly for members and dependents of those serving in the Singapore Armed Forces. From a 2016 Facebook photo the burgee is the logo (minus the bottom text) on a white background.

There is also a rectangular flag where it is the same pattern as the burgee (pg. 7 of the 2017/2018 Annual Report of the SAFYC).
