"The story of the present burgee probably starts in the early 1980s when
Peter White was Commodore. . . . We were talking about needing a design for a
new burgee and he (Peter White) quickly pulled out a bar napkin and drew the
design on it. We all loved it. It was two boats sailing upwind with a wake
behind them. I think that over time the line between the boats and wake has
gotten thicker and/or longer and it sometimes looks like a flying goose."

"As far as
we know, there have been three burgees for the Calgary Yacht Club. The first was
a banner with the initials C.Y.C"

have surfaced"
