New Rochelle Yacht Club (NYRC) was established on Long Island Sound
(Westchester County, New York).
The granddaddy of all the local clubs,
New Rochelle Yacht Club was established in 1868. Its first boathouse on Echo
Island was moved to the mainland next to the Rowing Club in 1895. Six years
later, the structure was barged out to Big Harrison Island, formerly the
home of David Harrison and family. In 1925, the wood frame clubhouse
burned down and was replaced with a stucco building. The club closed in
1960. The City of New Rochelle later purchased the property, with four other
islands, to create Five Islands Park in 1981.

The club's burgee and official signals are shown on a
colour plate sourced to Mannings Yacht Register, New York, as displayed
[incorrectly] at
https://lannangallery.com/products/framed-original-page-from-lloyds-register-c-1938
[it's actually Manning's of ca. 1901].
The burgee of NRYC was white with a blue triangle, whose points reach
the mid hoist and whose base matches the flag's center, leaving three white
triangles, two placed along the hoist and the third covering the fly.

The officer's signals were made of the club's burgee, with respective modifications, placed on a colored rectangle.

I also have access to the 1891 version of Manning's.
The officers' flags
then were broad pennants. They are anchors designs, so beyond my skills, but:
- Commodore's flag: dark blue with a white bent fouled anchor.
accompanied of three yellow five-pointed stars.
- Vice-Commodore's flag: red,
but otherwise the same.
- Rear Commodore's flag: white, but with dark blue
anchor, yet otherwise the same.
- Acting Commodore's flag: blank dark blue.
- Fleet Captain's flag: dark blue flag with one yellow five-pointed
star in canton.
