The ensign (see left image above) was a black-white-red horizontal tricolour like the German merchant ensign until 1918. The burgee (see right image above) was red parted by a white saltire, charged in its centre by a black disc. The club has nothing to do with Hamburger Yacht-Club, which was established much later in 1961.

"Long" pennant

The problem is, that there exist different versions of that flag. On the car-sticker version the black roundel is just touching the black lines of cross-fimbriation. On the wall of clubs boathouse is an image, in which the roundel exceeds the crossbars. This one is the version of the flag, hoisted upon the boat house at the banks of Alster lake.
