Danmarks Fritridssejler Union

The pennant is red and parted by an off-centred white cross, you can say a pennant version of the Dannebrog, on the point of intersection of the cross bars is the logo, a white disc, charged with a green sailing boat over green waves, the bigger sale charged with a white water propeller, over all at the top is a red inscription "DFU".

Dansk Sejlunion

It is a white swallow tail pennant with three sales overlapping one another, from hoist to fly: red, white with red edges and red.

Danmarks Tursejler Forening

The pennant is red and parted by an off-centred white cross, you can say a pennant version of the Dannebrog, on the point of intersection of the cross bars is the logo, a navy blue disc charged with two white sails and a yellow water propeller, surrounded by a yellow rope. On 1 June 2023 Danmarks Tursejler Forening and Danmarks Fritridssejler Union merged.

Træskibs Sammenslutningen

Not a yacht club burgee, but also in the sejler leksikon, Træskibs Sammenslutningen has a webpage here. A white pennant with a black "virgin block" representing the interests of the heritage of wooden ships, and their owners/preservers.

Træskibs Sammenslutningen (Vintage Wooden Ship Union) has a banner flying in several Danish harbour-areas and marinas. I found a little copy off it online and reconstructed a better and bigger version of the significant banner. Just to say, there´ll be no copyright problems publishing this graphic on your website, if you want to. I hereby give flagspot.net full rights to use my graphic :-)

On occasion I tried to create an image for this, but failed to create something I found convincing enough to share. His image is much better, with a jomfrublok that looks convincingly like the one used by Træskibs Sammenslutningen. Though at the time I was unable to give a translation beyond the literal "virgin block", over the decade since then I´ve learned that in English this part of the rigging is called a triple deadeye.
The link we have, by the way, is outdated and should now go to this page.
