I located a web site of the Croatian Sailing Federation (HJS)
at <www.hjs.hr>. There is a
list of all the member clubs with their addresses and other basic
info, and many of them have their emblem shown there, not
unfrequently it being the club burgee. (choose
"Klubovi" in the menu in the left window - you'll get
the list of members, click submit for each)

Croatian Sailing Federation - Hrvatski jedriliearski savez,
HJS (3:5). Adopted: 14th December 1997.
Article 3 of the Statute determines the emblem and the flag of
the Federation: "[...] The emblem consists of a blue sail,
two red squares slanted by angle of 20 degrees, surrounded by
inscribed name and abbreviation of the Federation in blue. The
sail is the most prominent symbol of this sport, while the blue
colour symbolize the sea. Two red squares are stylization of the
state coat of arms giving the embelm the national character. The
angle of the elements and the colouring highlight the speed,
dynamic and wind. [...]" and further on "[...] The flag
is light blue rectangle 3:5 with the emblem in the middle.
[...]".
HJS is the top level organization of the sailing sport in
Croatia, and all subsequent clubs are members to it.

Jedrilicarski klub "3. maj", Rijeka - Traingual
burgee, quartered in white and light blue, at hoist two white
sails. The sailing club bears the same name as a big shipyard in
Rijeka, and probably it is somehow connected to the shipyard - I
guess it was founded by the workers, and it may still be strongly
connected to the company.

A swallowtailed flag vertically divided in white and blue, in
white field in diagonal are set letters "ACI" in blue,
and overall a big italic letter "C" in red.
ACI Club is actually a chain of marinas (harbors for sporting
vessels) along Croatian coast, and the flag is more often seen on
thir facilities on ground then on vessels, but it has been noted
in both uses. The origin of the flag is obviously the
international signal flag for letter A (though the width of white
stripe is whider here), with the initials of the club added. The
club is originating from a small club formed in Dubrovnik in
1960's, latter enlarged and renamed for Adriatic Club Yugoslavia
(ACY). Since around 1990, it has changed name to ACI Club, and
added red C on the flag (as well as changed Y to I, of course).
The flag of the Club is rather well known, and among other
documents, it has been issued on a phone card (April 1999) by
Croatian telecom company (HT).
Zeljko Heimer , 20 August 1999
ACI Croatia (2:3~). Adopted: about 1990 - The flag is
variation of the Internation Slignal Code flag for letter A,
being white and blue vertically divided swallow-tailed flag, with
initial of the company in red and blue letters in hoist part. The
flag was developed from a previously used flag of the predcessor
company called ACY (Adriatic Club Yugoslavia), that was the same
with red letters set in diagonal. The company is operating a
series of marinas and yaching clubs along the Croatian Adriatic
coast and is often seen in their installations and on their
vessels. The yacht club "Croatia" operated by ACI
actually is the member of HJS and uses an other flag.

Jedrilicarski klub "Adria", Split - Rectangular flag
1:2, divided vertically into purple hoist with white triangle and
white fly with green shape resembling letter A. I couldn't say
anything about the club, and I am not sure either if the emblem
here is actually used as a flag, even if it seems so. The name,
of course, refers to Adriatic sea.

Jedrilicarski klub "Bura", Makarska - Triangular
light blue burgee with yellow arrowhead (like in Guyana flag) and the coat of arms of Makarska
in hoist. The CoA is like the one preserved in a stone carving on
a square in Makarska, and even if today it is represented in red
shield and silver hand (cf. Makarska page
), the stonecurved CoAs are bound to be represented differently
coloured - here in blue and yellow. The name is Croatian name of
the NE wind blowing from the coast towards sea in wintertime,
very strong and avoided by sailors if possible.

Jedriliearski klub "Bura", Makarska (1:2~) - A blue
triangular pennant with yellow arrowhead (yellow triangle with
base at hoist charged with an other blue triangle in hoist) and
the coat of arms of Makarska. The coat of arms here is coloured
differently then the usual currently used coat of arms of
Makarska, This is result of the original being stone carved in
city square, and therefore without colouring pattern.

Jedrilicarski klub "Burin", Novi Vinodolski -
Triangular pennant of red hoist and (dark) blue fly divided by a
white chevron pointing to fly and white inscription YCB in hoist.
(Though the right translation of the name is "Sailing
club", I guess it stands for Yacht Club, and maybe it is the
name in english they use). The blue in the original is grey and I
would be quite at loos to how to represent it if it wasn't for
some other flags there to which I knew it should be blue (also
RWB is not uncommon combination - repeating RWB of the
Croatian tricolour). The name means also NE wind, as above, but
of a milder strength. Novi Vinodolski is in the middle of so
called Croatian Litoral proper, and site of long nautical
tradition of Croats reaching to the first days of Croat settlment
in the region.

Jedriliearski klub "Burin", Novi Vinodolski (1:2~) -

Jedrilicarski klub "Galeb", Kostrena - Traingular
white burgee bordered yellow with a blue gemmeled cross tunred to
circle where it crosses with another red circle within it with
yellow anchor in the middle. The flag was already reported by
Jose Carlos Alegria Diaz and me, though without the yellow border
and with minor diferences in the details. "Galeb" means
gull (i.e. seagull), ceratinly not unusual name for a sailing
club. Kostrena was part of Rijeka, but recently divided into
separate community. Having important shipyards and port
facilities of Rijeka, the community is rather rich in Croatian
measures.

Jedriliearski klub "Galeb", Kostrena (1:2~) -
The flag follows very traditional pattern for club
brurgees, being white with blue off-centered doubled cross with a

golden anchor, the whole pennant being bordered in golden.

It could as easily stand also for "Opatija Sailing Club
Optimist" or something else in some other language. Optimist
class is class (kind) of sailing boats that meet certain criteria
. If I am not much mistaken, these are rather small boats with
one sail of characteristic shape (see them in the flag) for one
or maybe two persons to navigate them. They are, again if I am
not much mistaken, intended primarly for younger (teen)
sportsmen.
