![[Yacht Club Argentino burgee]](../images/a/ar~yca.gif)
"Yacht Club Argentino" (YCA), today with more than 3,000 members, was
founded by Hortensio Aguirre Anchorena on 2 July 1883, succeeding the
short-lived "Boating Society" (1861) and "Yacht Club Nacional" (1882).
The YCA organized its first international regatta in 1886. In
1906-1907, it was a founding member, representing Argentina, of the
International Yacht Racing Union (subsequently renamed International
Sailing Federation); the club played a similar role in the foundation
of the Union Internationale Motonautique in 1927.

The burgee of YCA is shown on
http://www.yca.org.ar/
It is a triangular flag diagonally divided blue-white-blue,
with a red fouled anchor placed in diagonal in the white stripe.

The burgee is shown, together with the national flag, on the emblem of the club.
