Tried that Stu, Google is mind boggling and like finding a needle in a hay stack so to speak, so referred that perhaps someone might recognise the burgee.
My Boat was originally based in Houston and shipped out 8 years ago so most likely it belongs to a club in the Gulf area?

Rob, that's more helpful. I was thinking it was down your way, but that narrows the gap, so to speak...
If you find it post it here.
I did a quick look and saw a few with light houses, but no matches. Helps us out when you are done and post it here: http://www.burgees.com/burgeeframe.htm

I think JustSomeGuy might have it...
"The burgee shows the Old Field Point lighthouse because of its prominence in the area of the Squadron’s influence. The light was in the stone tower at the time the burgee was approved, not on the steel structure as it is today. "
It may be the earlier one.

Maybe contact United State Yacht Racing Union? or Royal Sailing Society? or Australian Yacht Racing Union? There must be a million and one yacht/sailing clubs. Past Commodore Nevada Yacht Club, (Yes we have water in Nevada)
Good Luck...
Anything on the back? Please describe the material and construction. Is this machine made (automated machine) a sewn on a sewing machine?
Try sending you plight to Karen Larson at Good Old Boat Magazine. She helped me out after Isabel destroyed a club I was a member of.
