Ensign

Tradition says that the RUYC ensign shown at the top of this page is the appropriate ensign while the club's website suggests that the variant ensign below might be more accurate.

Variant ensign

Older version

This is an older version of the ensign (hand not on a shield).

Burgee

The Dumpy Book of Ships and the Sea (1957) shows the burgee blue with a white shield containing the red hand of Ulster, surmounted by a crown.

The following Club page shows the burgee although surely the blue is too light; the shield’s upper edge is curved as mentioned & illustrated by Clay: http://www.ruyc.co.uk/ruyc/Club_House.html. In any case for the moment here is an image. A better image is provided by Graham (about 2/3 down page):
