The date we give for the Royal Resolution that established the flag, 18 May, is actually the date upon which the club´s original application for an ensign defaced with a white cross below the letters "YF" was turned down by the Ministry (on the grounds that it was "precisely the recognition badge of a Vice-Admiral" and asking that they "submit a different proposal"). I do not have a copy of the club´s reply, but the application for an ensign defaced with a gold star ("below the letters YF" rather than to the side as we show it) was submitted by the Ministry of the Navy (signed by N.K. Rayn) on 28 May 1889, and approved (in the name of the King) by Crown Prince Frederik on 29 May 1889. This authorization was conveyed to the club, and permission granted to fly the ensign as described, in a letter dated 1 June 1889. I also have a note (on which I unfortunately failed to record a source) that the star should be tilted 18 degrees towards the hoist?

The club was established on 24 June 1877. Its flag is a yacht ensign with additional golden 5-point star reversed under golden letters "Y.C." The design has changed in 2025 (see left image above). The shade of red had become darker and the badge was shifted to top. On old ensign (see right image above) letters and star are in centre of the canton.

The state ensign with yellow emblem in the canton consisting of the letters "Y.F." and a five-pointed star below them. It may be noted that Flaggenbuch shows three different designs for the initials "Y.F." in the three last flags. Actually designs are the same but their size relative to the flag size and their positioning are different in each of the three flags. This may be significant and may be reflecting the designs as shown in the original grants or as used in practice. On the other hand some sources shows the letters the same in all three flags, probably for "simplicity" sake. The ensign was approved by royal resolution of 18 May 1889.
