The Babylon Yacht Club, according to their website at www.babylonyachtclub.org, was founded in 1903. Its station is the foot of Eaton Lane, West Islip, New York.
The club's burgee is depicted on their website as a ca. 11:17 blue triangle with a red capital B styled to form a border along the hoist and part of the flywise edges, and with in the fly a white five-pointed star, a third of the hoist in height.
The club's newsletter depicts the usual officers flags for the Secretary and the Treasurer, but I don't know whether this means the club uses the usual officers flags for all its officers.

The newsletters also depict a separate burgee for Frostbiting -- winter racing, though apparently limited to soft water. The design is similar to the normal club burgee, but with the star replaced by a five-pointed crystal. Possibly this one doesn't exist in the cloth either, but I do like the design.
