The Keuka YC, on the web, shows the blue field on the burgee as an almost right triangle, https://www.facebook.com/keukayachtclub/photos/a.2336426629730356/2336431599729859, which make it a predominantly red flag.

As usual, the By-laws don't go into such details:
"Article III - Club Burgee
Section I - The burgee of the Club shall be a pointed flag, red field with a blue triangle on which there is superimposed a white "K”, at the head of the flag."
