One example photo on the Facebook page (https://scontent.fric1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/23844634_1224169657684885_8731470532851260089_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ohc=geHF7KVio-8AX9dsDLX&_nc_ht=scontent.fric1-2.fna&oh=a9eff57acdaa2b59406467ef77b2896b&oe=5ED75F9B) shows the burgee flying from a mast alongside the Chilean national flag. The burgee is white with two symmetrical triangles at the hoist, pointing toward the fly, with the top triangle blue and the bottom triangle red. The blue triangle contains the capital letters "CYA" in a white sans serif font, representing the name of the club.
