Strib Ro- og Kajakklub

The club was established in 1999 and based in a suburb of Middelfart. The pennant is parted horizontally of light and dark blue (it is perhaps no incident that those are the colours of Oxford and Cambridge). Shifted to hoist is a lighthouse, under the lighthouse is an embowed inscription "S.R.K."

Sønderborg Roklub

The rowing club at the end of the world. In Sønderborg, going north from the marina, leaving the bustle of the pleasure craft piers behind, passing the fishermen´s harbour where men in blue overalls unload their catches, continuing past the warehouses which only come alive every now and again when a ship arrives to be loaded or unloaded, further beyond the shipping lines offices where nearly all activity is hidden behind reflecting windows and company logos, well outside the city beyond even the waterfront industry where ships moor only to have machines fill or empty their hulls through giant pipes, out there to the north, if you continue along the water´s edge, you come to the End of the World (Verdens Ende). On this stretch of waterline are the buildings of water-related sports, like the divers club, the kayak club and the rowing club
As far as I can decipher my own notes, they have existed since 1924, and that is all I know about them, except that they have a white burgee with the Schleswig lions in red.
