Watersportvereniging Vlaardingen, Zuid-Holland province, after image
on this website: burgee quartered

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Leidsche Vrouwelijke Studenten Roeivereniging "De Vliet", Leiden
- red flag with a red diamond bordered white charged with a white V.
Female student rowers, yeah. In 1974 it merged with Asopos to become
the new club Asopos/De Vliet. According to its
homepage De Vliet was founded in 1905. It was then decided to go very
slow as speeding would result in getting no babies. Later on the naughty
students decided that they didn't care, even Princess Beatrix joined, and
we know the rest...

Gooische Watersportvereniging "De Vrijbuiter", Loosdrecht - a burgee
blue over white; in the center a red diamond charged with a white V.
Het Gooi is the region formed by the triangle Amsterdam - Amersfoort
- Utrecht, in the good old days inhabited with very poor people who did
what they were told to do. Now they're telling us what to do via radio
and TV. "De Vrijbuiter" means Freebooter, now someone who is just
doing what he or she likes. At this
website one can see that they still use the same burgee. Loosdrecht
(formerly in Utrecht, now in Noord-Holland) is the center of the lake-area
known as the "Loosdrechtse
Plassen".
