Burgee of YCR - Image by Ivan Sache, 5 July 2003
Yacht Club du Rhône (YCR, website), founded in 1935, is based in Saint-Germain-au-Mont-d'Or, a town located upstream of Lyon on the river Saône. Therefore, Rhône in the name of the yacht club refers to the department of Rhône and not directly to the river Rhône.
The burgee of YCR is a triangular white flag with a cross made of
two horizontal blue stripes crossing two vertical red stripes.
YCR was founded as a subsidiary of
Yacht Club de l'Île-de-France, and
its flag was derived from the YCIF flag.
