Horizontally striped pennant, green-white-red-white-blue in proportions 3:1:1:1:3, two white rectangle triangles at the hoist and the letters SWR in white near the fly. Wassenberg is located on the river Rur, close to the Dutch border. When crossing the border, the river Rur changes its name for Roer, and is tributary off the river Maas in Roermond (lit.: the mouth of the Roer). The flag of Roermond is horizontally divided white-blue - I assume the flag of Wassenberg is green and white, the red stripe being added in the middle of the yacht club burgee as the common colour between the
German and Dutch national flags.

It sure looks like a special ensign !
