Baltische Seglervereinigung in Hamburg

It is a white pennant divided by a black cross cotized red. Upon the centre of cross a shield of the Teutonic order, black cross in a white field, is superimposing a vertical golden sword and two golden crossed anchors. I believe, Baltische Seglervereinigung is an association with various branches all over Germany, based on former inhabitants of Eastern Prussia province. Probably the association uses the same flag anywhere in Germany.

Ivan Sache, 15 June 2002

The burgee as shown in the yacht club website has a white piercing on the bottom hoist of the black device. This looks somewhat like a buoy with pennant, and a wave beside it.
Santiago Dotor, 20 Oct 2005

Lower case letter 'b' standing for Bosen, I think. But then, a buoy could very well be meant, and that word starts with a 'b' too: Boje.
