Lagos Marina Yachting Club

According with a real estate outdoor add I’ve seen recently, the Lagos Marina Yatching Club flies a triangular flag with an yellow cross on a purple background, charged with a purple "FIAV" knot on its center. A 2:3 panel of horizontal alternating purple and yellow stripes was also shown in this add, but I dont know if it is really a flag. Since Smith [smi76] show pairs of triangle plus rectangular flags for some yacht clubs, I supppose that it at least could be one.

Either they changed their colours recently, or this flag is wrong (due probably to the fading of the outdoor’s colours?). I have a drawing in paper of the same flag, also taken from an ad, and I’ve seen it flying live. In both these sources, the flag is dark blue with a dark yellow cross. The knot is also dark blue and it is in the centre of a dark yellow horizontal elipse.

Lagos’ Sailing Club / Clube de Vela de Lagos

White with blue stripe, over all a blue ogival shield bordered by a golden rope and showing a white sail ship on white waves and white thick letters "CVL" vertically arranged.

Naval Association of Lisbon / Associação Naval de Lisboa

I also have a drawing of a similar flag: the flag of the Naval Association of Lisbon (ANL - Associação Naval de Lisboa). It has the same overall characteristics, but the cross is white charged with a yellow anchor inside a vertical red elipse.
