Model boat clubs are devoted to the hobby of building and sailing miniature model ships and have existed since the late 19th Century. Some of these clubs have adopted burgees, in the same manner as 'actual' yacht clubs; however these burgees are mostly displayed as logos, rather than actually flown.
All of these clubs sail miniature model ships, some (but not all) of which
were built by the club members themselves.
