Note 1: Seneca Yacht Club (1929 - date) uses the same burgee design
(2:4), with the red and blue colours reversed.

Rather 1927, for the organisation. The 1929 is for the building. The club
building was opened in 1929, according to several writes, but the organisation
was founded two years earlier.

Note 2: "The 1955 Long
Distance Race, like all SYC events throughout the 1950's was captured on canvas
by artist E.C. 'Lauty' Lautenslager. The illustrated canvas shows a burgee
(2:5) blue to hoist with white star, and yellow to fly divided by a chevron.
