Burgee:
Pennant circa 6:10 (web image). Light blue field charged with a blue displayed
eagle flanked with the blue letters H and C, all on a 1 unit-wide horizontal red
stripe.
"Competitive sailing began at Hobsonville in the early 1930s
which led to the formation of the Hobsonville Boating Club (HBC) in 1934. With
the Defence amalgamation of Hobsonville and Whenuapai in 1966 to become RNZAF
Base Auckland, the HBC was retitled RNZAF Base Auckland Yacht Club (RNZAF BAYC).
However since the airforce base has moved from Hobsonville we are now [2000]
known as The Hobsonville Yacht Club. Our aim is to keep the tradition of
recreational boating alive at Hobsonville."
