Summary
[edit]DescriptionRIYCA Burgee.svg |
English: Burgee of the Ross Island Yacht Club of Antarctica, founded in 2000 at McMurdo Station. White represents the ice and symbolizes the purity of both the waters and the hearts of those who sail them. Blue represents the sky and symbolizes the valor inherent in all who boat recreationally below the convergence. The silhouette depicts one of the earliest yachting endeavors, honoring Shakelton’s efforts to reach those converted waters around Ross Island. He stands apart from his men to remind us of the many that must struggle so that we may sail. Over their shoulders rise the Southern Sun gloriously illuminating the RIYCA letters for the entire world to see. Above it all, the Antarctic Skua, inspires freedom found in the South and a free meal wherever it may be found. The bloodshot red bowsprit should always point due South or the direction of the nearest pub, reflecting
the directional desires on earth and on the Wheel of Life.[1] |
