The burgee is shown as a drawing on the webpage, a white horizontal stripe
traversing a red field. Rather than attaching this a photo detail is sent
instead: see ‘Gallery / 2003 / Wag Downhill 2003’, fourth photo of third row,

This page bids us welcome to the Dublin Bay Water Wags, “the oldest one
design racing class in the world” (Ireland):
http://www.waterwag.org. From the ‘History’ section, left menu: founded in
1887, the club pioneered in adopting yachts of the same design in contrast to
existing practice. In this way, “yacht racing [was placed] within the reach of
many who could not otherwise have enjoyed the sport”. The ‘Design’ section (left
menu) shows designs dating from 1887 and 1900.
