Flag #679 on [gsh34].
My best guess is that itʼs US.
Alvan Fisher, 27 Jan 1999
From The National Maritime Museum:

The logo is a flag-like drawing like this.

The Geographic Sailing Club has a flag that is a horizontal
tribar of blue/black/green. It is swallow tailed, and has a white
circle in the center of the hoist. Within the circle is a black
map of both Americas.
Mason Kaye, 06 Dec 2003, quoting Peter Edwards
I am not sure where this club is — I wonder if it might be
a National Geographic club? There the
colours are blue-brown-green.

(black) in its upper part.

This is probably in Sweden. There's a Boön in the
Kronoberg province. Itʼs inland, but
thereʼs a river flowing by the city and a lake nearby (and the
Baltic is not all that far away), so…
