According to Pedersen's (1979) list, the Danish yacht club ensigns are as follows:
Basic pattern: Dannebrog with swallow tail, various letters and emblems in upper hoist red field (canton).
The flag regulations of Kjøbenhavns Amatør-Sejlklub - Copenhagen Amateur Yacht Club - http://hjem.get2net.dk/kas/flagreglement.htm mentions that (translated):

"Y.F." in yellow. Approved by Royal resolution of 15 August 1865.
The Y.F. flag is a general yacht flag for no specific club. I wonder if the
clubs that are authorized other flags are allowed to use this generic flag
instead of their own (e.g., when they don't have it available)? There are
specific clubs authorized similar flags with additional symbols (stars, rose),
or entirely different symbols replacing Y.F.

On a visit to Denmark I saw quite a
lot of Yacht Flags. Variations include, the size of the Y.F., from so modest its
height is not a quarter of the height of the first quarter to so bold a spanning
rectangle would take more than half the surface of that first quarter, letters
in gold-paint and letters in bright yellow, letters and dots outlined in black
(!), and flag colours from bright red to almost violet. Unfortunately I didn't
manage to speak to owners of the latter colour of flag to ask whether it was
meant to be Navy-red, and if so, why. Unfortunate, since these were the only
flags that were noticeably darker.

"Y.F." and three gold stars. Royal resolutions of 28.
February 1873 and 25. July 1891.
The Kongelig Dansk Yachtclub (http://www.kdy.dk)
was founded 3 July 1866 as Dansk Forening for Lystsejlads. Currently the only
all-Denmark and biggest yacht club, with 2000 members. With its 25th anniversary
King Christian IX granted the club the right to call itself "Kongelig Dansk
Yachtclub and later that same year the current standard was introduced. In this
same year it apparently also received the Royal Privilege. I wonder what the
earlier, 1873, privilege allowed?

"Y.F." and two crossed letters "S" in gold. Royal resolution of 30. July 1882.

"D.F.f.R." over two crossed oars in gold. Royal resolution of 14 March 1888.
Jose C. Alegria Diaz, 25 January 2000
The Oars are symmetric, broad
sides up, and have what look like small cross-bars at the lower ends to signify
the way they are held in the holes.

White pennant with a red cross and a red star in canton.
Ivan Sache, 8 May 2000
Founded in 1910, merged with Middelfart Sejlforening 195?-1966. Moved to new
marina 1980. (See Broforeningen Haug.)
http://www.sailtime.dk/middelfart
Middelfart Sejlforening also moved to the new marina. Apparently it has picked a
new burgee at some point (after the split?) as it now has: Violet with in a
white circle the black silhouette of the new Little Baelt Bridge (built shortly
before 1970, I think).

White over red with in black an H over an anchor. (Not really a Yachtclub,
but I group it here for geographical reasons.) Haug is the beach on the
south side of the North-Western tip of Fyn, on the North side of which lies the
original city of Middelfart. One gets the impression that for nearly a century
this group of fishermen had a little jetty here for their boats, until
Middelfart expanded over the hill towards the South and suddenly noticed it had
a southward looking coastline here, and developed it in the late 1970-s into a
big marina enveloping the modest work of the fishermen.

ca. 3:5:3 green, white, blue, tapering, with over all K over B in black at
the hoist and a black fish from 1/6th of the length to 2/3 of the length in the
white.
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 27 August 2001
I saw two versions of this burgee. The old burgees are white, blue
border all around and 3 fish swimming flyward. New burgees are white, blue
border along the free edges and 3 fish swimming hoistward. Although white, 3
fish swimming dexter, is the shield of Rudkøbing, and the club's site shows a
burgee like the old ones.
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 27 August 2001
Not a yacht club burgee, but also in the sejler leksikon, Traeskibs
Sammenslutningen has a web page at
http://www.traeskib.dk. A white pennant with a black "virgin block"
representing the interests of the heritage of wooden ships, and their
owners/preservers.
