This photo detail evokes the continued(?) or historic(?) merger of CARC and CSC.

This "merged flag" of Carrickfergus Sailing Club and Carrickfergus Amateur Rowing Club is a white flag with red hoist and fly edges, a red St. Georges cross, the letters CARC in the four white quadrants and in the centre a red pennant showing a three-towered castle.
