Zeilvereniging Neptunus Delfzijl, Groningen province, after image on
this
website: burgee tapered red - white - red; over all the club's logo.
The sail- and rowing club Neptunus was founded in 1876, and became royal
in 1976. It has three divisions: yachting, rowing and motorboating; I found
only a flag for the yachting division.

Neptunus Delfzijl - the burgee has no conical stripes, but ordinary
straight bars. The site represents them conical but I saw the flag with
my own eyes. The burgee on your page is for the yachting- and rowing-divisions
of the club.

Watersportvereniging Neptunus, Den Bosch, Noord-Brabant province, after
image on this website:

hoist and fly a yellow diamond charged with a blue letter N.

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Amsterdamsche Studenten Roei Vereniging "Nereus", Amsterdam. Red flag
with a white diamond chrged with the club's emblem.
I've borrowed the background of the club's
homepage. Nereus is the rowing club of the University of Amsterdam.
It was founded 10 Dec 1885 and has always been one of the most important
rowing clubs in the Netherlands.
Nereus was an old Greek sea god, father of the Nereids.

"Nereus", Amsterdam: you write that you took the color from their website,
but on your page it is plain red. That has to be bordeaux-red (like Latvia).
The attributes in the lozenge should be in natural colors.

Corrected image: I've used the logo at this
page, while there is a flag here.

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Watersport Vereniging "Het Nieuwe Diep", Amsterdam - a blue
burgee charged with a red disk. On the disk there are some white or gold
smudges, but perhaps that's just dirt from old age. It has no website,
but does still seem to exist.
The Nieuwediep (new canal; it's actually a small lake) was formed after
the Diemerzeedijk collapsed in 1422. In the 1930's a new part of Amsterdam
was built here on soil dug from the place where the new Coenhaven was put
in the IJ. The Nieuwediep is idyllically surrounded by the Flevopark..
Jarig Bakker, 14 Aug 2004
The name "Nieuwe Diep"is incorrect, it should be "Het Nieuwe Diep".
The burgee is blue with an orange circle containing "HND" in white
or black.
Here is an image with slightly brighter blue than on your site. You
can read more about the club here.

Zeil- en Roeivereniging "De Nieuwe Meer" (new lake), Amsterdam
- a burgee red over white with a white diamond bordered blue, charged with
letters NM.
This lake is behind the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam-Zuid. On some
other pages is indicated that most watersport activities moved to other
areas, closer to the Amstel, the IJ, and the IJsselmeer..

Studenten Roeivereniging "Njord", Leiden (Student Rowing Club)
- blue with a white hoist-diagonal; at hoist bottom and top fly a white
swan.
According to the club's homepage
it was founded in 1874.
Jarig Bakker, 14 Aug 2004
The flag of Njord isn't exactly as your picture suggests.The club waas
founded in 1874, not 1974. That year, 1974, got its predicate Royal or
"Koninklijke" From that year on a crown has been added to the flag.
Nico van Horn, 2 Jan 2005
"Njord", Leiden - founded 1874. In 1974 it became royal and the crown
was added to the flag. Their website doesn't show the flag correctly. There
the canton is countercharged with a crown. In reality the flag is bright
blue, with a diagonal white stripe and two white swans; at top hoist a
Dutch royal crown has been embroidered.
Jeroen van Leeuwen, 24 Apr 2005
Here is a photo with the flag as it is presently used. Please note the
crown at top hoist and the bright blue colors.

Watersportvereniging Noord-Beveland, Zeeland province, after image on

website: blue burgee with a white ring containing two sails, facing.
Its location is in Colijnsplaat.
