The Vanuatu Cruising Yacht Club is based in Port Vila; unfortunately, there 
is not a lot of information I could find about the VCYC besides the design of 
the burgee. The burgee, at
https://www.facebook.com/vanuatuparalympic/photos/2232210056803018/, is a 
simplified pattern of the national flag with the letters "V.C.Y.C" in a Times 
New Roman like font, in black, on the central yellow section.

At 
https://www.vanuatu.travel/en/vanuatu-cruising-yacht-club it tell us:
"The Vanuatu Cruising Yacht Club (VCYC) is located on the front of the 
property of the Port Vila Boatyard in Pontoon Bay. Local and Foreign visitors 
are encouraged to come by to join and support the club, sign-up as members and 
meet up with some of the local yachtsmen and woman and VCYC junior sailors.
The VCYC has recently introduced a Junior sailing division (in 2015) where 
children (Ni-Vanuatu, resident expat and visiting youth) can learn to sail on RS 
Tera’s and Lasers. This is done in collaboration with Vanuatu’s only sailing 
school RS Vanuatu. The aim of the VCYC Junior Sailing program is to develop the 
sport of sailing in the country for all people to enjoy and to develop a 
competitive National Sailing Team who will participate in major international 
competitions."
The pages at
https://www.facebook.com/VanuatuCruisingYachtClub show the burgee, and the 
roads. While they have a link to a club site. Unfortunately this
https://vanuatucruisingyachtclub.org appears to be held by someone else 
(possibly in the hope a yacht club would have money to buy their site back. Some 
of the Facebook pages do have a minimum of information, but it's largely about 
the organisation of formal or less formal gatherings.
