In the Handbook of Tanganyika by John Perry Moffett (1958), p.
496, it states that the Dar es Salaam Yacht Club was granted the privilege of
wearing a defaced (British) Blue Ensign just prior to World War II, but owing to
the lack of sufficient boats large enough to be registered, the club was not
able to retain the privilege.

In the 1939 Lloyds Yacht Register, the Dar es Salaam Yacht Club ensign
shows the
dhow with no rigging lines. The burgee is the same. In the 1953 the club is shown
with a Tanganyika Red Ensign and the same burgee.
These are black and white photocopies. It is likely that the 1939 burgee was
blue, but in 1953 the burgee may still have been blue or it may have been
changed to red to match the ensign.

I have a colour scan of the right page for 1958. It shows the Dar es Salaam
Yacht Club with the Tanganyika Red Ensign (disk in the lower fly) and also a
blue burgee (dhow without rigging lines).

The burgee of the Dar es Salaam Yacht Club is blue
defaced with a white dhow. It is still in use today.
