the quite known Sport Algés e Dafundo, has the following practice:
Afloat (all classes of operated vessles, from small lasers to ocean crossing
sailships) the triangular burgee is used, but on land

gymnastics and swimming) but also in events and locations related to sailing
sports.

This flag shows a Christ’s Knights Order cross on a
green cross throughout (quite similar to some Portuguese
