The Keuka YC, on the web, shows the blue field on the burgee as an almost
right triangle,

which make it a predominantly red flag.
As usual, the By-laws don't go
into such details:
"Article III - Club Burgee
Section I - The burgee of
the Club shall be a pointed flag, red field with a blue triangle on which there
is superimposed a white "K, at the head of the flag."
