Burgee of the VVW - Image by Ivan Sache, 24 August 2003

The VVW was founded in Antwerp in
1932, as the Vlaamsche Vereeniging voor Watertoerisme, in
opposition to French-speaking yacht clubs.
The VVW seems to unite an impressive number of
clubs (sailing,
diving, canoeing...) It seems that there are two kinds of clubs
affiliated to the VVW:
- associated (geassocierde) clubs,
which fly their own burgee on the main mast and the
VVW burgee on the port side.
- integrated (geintegreeerde) clubs, which fly the VVW
burgee on the main mast, except if they have a specific club
burgee. In this latter case, they follow the associated clubs'
etiquette.

The burgee of the VVW is a triangular yellow flag with a black
cross voided throughout and the VVW emblem in canton. Possibly the
stylized bird emblem on the flag is the blauwvoet, symbolic of
Flemish aspirations since the XIXth century.
The image shown above, as well as the other images on this page,
was drawn after the VVW
website (flag etiquette page).

The flag of the VVW board members and President of the associated clubs is a rectangular version of the VVW burgee with a small fork (c. 1/10 of the overall flag length).

The flag of the board members of the clubs forming the VVW is similar to the VVW burgee, with a black disk placed in the lower left quarter.
