Alexandra Yacht Club

[Alexandra Yacht Club] image by Peter Edwards, 9 November 2017

The Alexandra Yacht Club, Southend-on-Sea, uses a blue burgee with the Essex three white seaxes on a red shield. I did not find their homepage, but I did find the burgee also at http://www.burgees.com/BGroupAa-An.htm.

"[On 15th. January 1873] The club was to be named after the Princess of Wales, later Queen Alexandra, and to be known as 'The Alexandra Club'. . . [in] 1878 [a] proposal was carried unanimously and the Alexandra Yacht Club [was] born. . . . Six designs for a burgee were drawn up but the one chosen was red with the Essex Arms . . ." [In 1883] the burgee was changed to blue with Essex Arms".

Ensign

The (German) Flaggenbuch 1905 states that the red ensign is used without badge (i.e. undefaced) by different yacht clubs based on a warrant and lists this yacht club as using the red ensign.
