Neptunus Delfzijl

Zeilvereniging Neptunus Delfzijl, Groningen province, after image on this website: burgee tapered red - white - red; over all the club's logo. The sail- and rowing club Neptunus was founded in 1876, and became royal in 1976. It has three divisions: yachting, rowing and motorboating; I found only a flag for the yachting division.

Neptunus Delfzijl - equal stripes

Neptunus Delfzijl - the burgee has no conical stripes, but ordinary straight bars. The site represents them conical but I saw the flag with my own eyes. The burgee on your page is for the yachting- and rowing-divisions of the club.

Watersportvereniging Neptunus, Den Bosch, Noord-Brabant province, after image on this website: flag quartered red and white scandinavian cross-wise; at separation of hoist and fly a yellow diamond charged with a blue letter N.

Nereus, Amsterdam

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941 has two pages with burgees.
Amsterdamsche Studenten Roei Vereniging "Nereus", Amsterdam. Red flag with a white diamond chrged with the club's emblem.
I've borrowed the background of the club's homepage. Nereus is the rowing club of the University of Amsterdam. It was founded 10 Dec 1885 and has always been one of the most important rowing clubs in the Netherlands.
Nereus was an old Greek sea god, father of the Nereids.

"Nereus", Amsterdam: you write that you took the color from their website, but on your page it is plain red. That has to be bordeaux-red (like Latvia). The attributes in the lozenge should be in natural colors.

Nieuwe Diep, Amsterdam

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941 has two pages with burgees.
Watersport Vereniging "Het Nieuwe Diep", Amsterdam - a blue burgee charged with a red disk. On the disk there are some white or gold smudges, but perhaps that's just dirt from old age. It has no website, but does still seem to exist.
The Nieuwediep (new canal; it's actually a small lake) was formed after the Diemerzeedijk collapsed in 1422. In the 1930's a new part of Amsterdam was built here on soil dug from the place where the new Coenhaven was put in the IJ. The Nieuwediep is idyllically surrounded by the Flevopark..

Nieuwe Meer, Amsterdam

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941 has two pages with burgees.
Zeil- en Roeivereniging "De Nieuwe Meer" (new lake), Amsterdam - a burgee red over white with a white diamond bordered blue, charged with letters NM.
This lake is behind the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam-Zuid. On some other pages is indicated that most watersport activities moved to other areas, closer to the Amstel, the IJ, and the IJsselmeer..

Njord, Leiden

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941 has two pages with burgees.
Studenten Roeivereniging "Njord", Leiden (Student Rowing Club) - blue with a white hoist-diagonal; at hoist bottom and top fly a white swan.
According to the club's homepage it was founded in 1874.
Jarig Bakker, 14 Aug 2004

The flag of Njord isn't exactly as your picture suggests.The club waas founded in 1874, not 1974. That year, 1974, got its predicate Royal or "Koninklijke" From that year on a crown has been added to the flag.
Nico van Horn, 2 Jan 2005

"Njord", Leiden - founded 1874. In 1974 it became royal and the crown was added to the flag. Their website doesn't show the flag correctly. There the canton is countercharged with a crown. In reality the flag is bright blue, with a diagonal white stripe and two white swans; at top hoist a Dutch royal crown has been embroidered.

Noord-Beveland WV

Watersportvereniging Noord-Beveland, Zeeland province, after image on this website: blue burgee with a white ring containing two sails, facing. Its location is in Colijnsplaat.
