Courtesy Flag

in french yachting review "Bateaux" issue nov 1999, an italian reader, N Accardi of Roma, states that the courtesy flag which a foreign yacht should fly in italian waters is the undefaced tricolour and not as I would have presumed the civil ensign with CoA without crown.

Yacht Club "Circolo del Remo e della Vela Italia"

I found the site : http://www.netgroup.it/crvitalia/BandSoc.htm
There is a chart with the flags of the yacht club "Circolo del Remo e della Vela Italia", Napoli, Italy, established November 20th, 1889 as "Canottieri Italia". The Clubīs flag is a rectangular 2:3 red flag with a blue cross of St. George and they have Rank flags. Itīs a very curious case, as they have the Clubīs flag to represent the society as a whole, but include, among the Rankīs flags, a memberīs flag . Usually the clubīs flag is the one also used by members, but in this case, members use a triangular shape, burgee.

Yacht Club "Circolo Nautico Ugo Costaguta"


by Jose C. Alegria, 27 March 2000

Another important yacht club is the "Circolo Nautico Ugo Costaguta", Voltri (Genova), Italy. Established in December 1898, the Clubīs flag is a white burgee with a red cross of St. George, traditional symbol of Genoa (another Club from Genoa, the Yacht Club Italiano, uses the same, but with colors reversed), and a blue star in a white circle at the armsīintersection.
