The club statute describes the flag and burgee (corneta)
of the club but does not illustrate them. I used the anchor depicted on the club badge as the
model. The club, founded in 1884, has its in-town clubhouse at Botafogo Beach, its yachting
facility at Charitas in Niterói, across Guanabara Bay, and its social and rowing
facility at Piraquê in Rio's Zona Sul.

Founded in 1914 by Englishmen who were dissatisfied with the Yacht Club Brasileiro's emphasis on
social activities over sailing. The English connection will be obvious--it's a pennant of St. George.
