We are re-hanging our club's burgee collection and would be very grateful if anyone can identify the attached. The blue one with yellow wheel/fishing rod (?) was made in the USA.

I do wish that there was some publication or even beter website that colleaged these, or is there one that I've missed. It would be nice to be able to look up ones that one sees about the place.

I had tried the databases etc before without success so posted on this forum. Many thanks to neilf39 for identifying two of them so quickly.

Waiting to hear back from two flag companies - Prestige Flag San Diego for blue with wheel/fishing rod logo and Ensign Flags for red/yellow with galleon (looks very familiar!).

Images of the two remaining ones are attached - the blue/white one is marked 'GLYC'. Any ideas gratefully received.

Red and yellow with a ship is Weymouth Sailing Club,
The red and green one with a bird is Mengeham Rythe Sailing Club.
Googling brings up Green Lake Yacht Club in Wisconsin, but their website doesn't show the burgee.

The blue-white one is George Lakes YC, George,, about 200km east of Cape Town SA. Visited 2019.

(PS Sorry, missed that KevinV had got that one already!)

The International Burgee Registry has my last one - San Pedro YC, California - found by starting at Z!

Thanks to AndrewB for that.
