Flag of SNB - Image by Ivan Sache, 7 June 2012
The Société Nautique de Bayonne (SNB, locally known as la Nautique), today with three sections (rowing, pelota and gymnastics) was founded, as a rowing club, in 1875. In 1904, some members left the club to found Aviron Bayonnais, mostly known today as a rugby club.
The SNB was elected best French rowing club in 1911. The next year, the club's eight (Pierre Alvarez, Jean Arné, Joseph Campot, François Elichagaray [cox], Jean-Baptiste Elichagaray, Louis Lafitte, Marius Lejeune, Étienne Lesbats, Gabriel Saint-Laurent), then the best rowing club in France, represented France at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm. During the same event, François Elichagaray served as the cox for the three French boats (coxed four; coxed four, inriggers; eights). SNB member Henri Souharce was part of the eight that competed at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. More recently, club members Hélène Ledoux and Lydie Dubedat were part of the team that ranked 5th in the final of cox four at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, being the first French women's team to compete in a final in the Olympic Games (the sports daily L'Équipe nicknamed them "the fantastic girls").
The flag of the SNB, as used during the club's general assembly (photo), is horizontally divided red-green with the white letter "SNB" all over.
Red and green are the traditional colours of Bayonne and of Basque Country.

Burgee of SVBB - Image by Ivan Sache, 28 December 2020
SVBB was established in 1891 by yachtsmen from Bayonne and Biarritz.
The Biarritz regattas, which involved 11 yachts in September 1892, were highly prized; the club organized in 1910 the San Sebastian-Biarritz international yacht meeting, won by King of Spain Alfonso XIII on Hispania. The king sailed again in Biarritz in the regatta organized by the club in 1920.
The burgee of SVBB was quartered per saltire blue-white-red-blue with a white star in the blue triangle and the red letters "S.V." and "B.B." in the center.
