Pale dark-blue, a flywise white stripe, +- 1/6th of the hoist in width. In
the canton KR in fat white letters.

The rowing club at the end of the world. In Sønderborg, going north from the
marina, leaving the bustle of the pleasure craft piers behind, passing the
fishermen's harbour where men in blue overalls unload their catches, continuing
past the warehouses which only come alive every now and again when a ship
arrives to be loaded or unloaded, further beyond the shipping lines offices
where nearly all activity is hidden behind reflecting windows and company logos,
well outside the city beyond even the waterfront industry where ships moor only
to have machines fill or empty their hulls through giant pipes, out there to the
north, if you continue along the water's edge, you come to the End of the World
(Verdens Ende). On this stretch of waterline are the buildings of water-related
sports, like the divers club, the kayak club, and
Sønderborg Roklub.
As far as I can decipher my own notes, they have existed since 1924, and that's
all I know about them, except that they have a white burgee with the Schleswig
lions in red.

White, dark blue along the free edges, middle blue 2 Schleswig lions, and the
letters 'HRK', shaped to fit the form of the burgee.

White with a blue offset border and a blue pentagram (intended to represent a
star).

Hoistwise stripes of blue-white-blue-white-blue. One of the rowers from
Fredericia I met was so proud of those colours, he had a cap with those stripes
as well. Then again, it may be that the local soccer club uses the same colours.
Since I've never been to Fredericia I can't even rule out that they have a flag
there that's striped blue and white.
