"Het Wakend Oog" (the waking eye) is a yachting club on the island
of Terschelling (Fryslân province) with
a rather unusual burgee: from hoist to fly dark to bright blue; at the
hoist a vertical row "TERSCHELLING" in white; in the center a dark-grey
oval bordered with a yellowish rope, with in the center an eye, over which
is written in white: HET WAKEND OOG.

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Watersport Vereniging "Westend", Aalsmeer - a burgee with a black hoist;
in the center two green connecting triangles; from the black stripe till
the fly a red diamond.
Red, green and black are the colors of Aalsmeer;
West of Aalsmeer are the "Westeinder Plassen" (lakes). According to this
website this was better known as Jachthaven Dragt, named after the
founder, an adventurer from Drenthe. In the center of the harbour was a
small house for Watersport Vereniging "West End". On the site are ancient
fotos with BW burgees, none of them looking like the one depicted in WWW41...

Roeivereniging "Willem III", Amsterdam - flag blue over blue with a
white diamond charged with a rowing boat with crossed oars over a foul
anchor, all white fimbriated black. (the book shows clearly a horizontal
black stripe - no idea why...)
Its homepage mentions that was
founded 22 Aug 1882. The club is at the Amstel near the Utrechtse bridge
in Amsterdam-Zuid, along the road to Utrecht all the way to Umukoroshe.

The attributes on the white diamond have been colored realistically,
not "void"..

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Wormerveersche RoeiVereniging, Wormerveer (Noord-Holland). A burgee
quartered red and white. It's a mirror of the Wormerveer
municipal flag without lions.
According to this
website it is now named "Wormerveerse Roeivereniging DE ZAAN", in Zaandijk;
it's a rowing club for Zaanstad; the burgee on that site is also quartered,
but black and white (a misprint?); it was founded in 1896.
