The blue swallowtail with white anchor and thirteen stars denotes the commodore, the elected leader of the club, responsible for all operations and ceremonial duties. Flown from the masthead (highest honor), it ensures instant recognition during regattas and club events, upholding centuries of maritime tradition.
