Courtesy Flag

In the French yachting review "Bateaux" issue Nov 1999, an Italian reader, N Accardi of Roma, states that the courtesy flag which a foreign yacht should fly in Italian waters is the undefaced tricolour and not as I would have presumed the civil ensign with the coat of arms without crown.

In Portofino, Genoa, Italy, we have founded the new Marina and exposed the new flag. See www.marinadiportofino.com.
The flag is red charged with a cross gold, in one quarter there is the San Giorgio that is the symbol of Portofino and he's a man on the horse that kill the dragon.

Yacht Club "Circolo del Remo e della Vela Italia"

I found the site : http://www.netgroup.it/crvitalia/BandSoc.htm
There is a chart with the flags of the yacht club "Circolo del Remo e della Vela Italia", Napoli, Italy, established November 20th, 1889 as "Canottieri Italia". The Club´s flag is a rectangular 2:3 red flag with a blue cross of St. George and they have Rank flags. It´s a very curious case, as they have the Club´s flag to represent the society as a whole, but include, among the Rank´s flags, a member´s flag . Usually the club´s flag is the one also used by members, but in this case, members use a triangular shape, burgee.

Another important yacht club is the "Circolo Nautico Ugo Costaguta", Voltri (Genova), Italy. Established in December 1898, the Club´s flag is a white burgee with a red cross of St. George, traditional symbol of Genoa (another Club from Genoa, the Yacht Club Italiano, uses the same, but with colors reversed), and a blue star in a white circle at the arms´intersection.
