A pair of solid nine carat rose of 'pink' gold classic domed oval cufflinks featuring a beautifully hand painted vitreous enameled yacht burgee flags both panels on each pair.  The yacht club burgee flag is a unique flag that represents each yacht club across the world, and is flown by members of the club's on their yachts. The flag in this case is from the Royal Cruising Club.  

Cruising went almost completely unrecognised by Victorian yacht clubs until, in 1880, a small group of enthusiasts led by Arthur Underhill founded the Cruising Club (becoming the Royal Cruising Club in 1902). The Club's principal objective was to encourage and facilitate cruising and the spirit of the new enterprise was engagingly summed up in the first few lines of the original Rules -

"to associate the owners of small yachts, boats and canoes used for cruising on sea, river or lake, and any other persons interested in aquatic amusements."

The Club quickly earned a reputation for helpful competence by obtaining and circulating among members information on a wide variety of subjects such as navigation and local harbourage. Members were encouraged, then as now, to contribute to the enjoyment and safety of others by writing up accounts of their cruises for the Club Journal, publishing coastal guides and many other works of pilotage. Led by the more adventurous, cruising activity expanded rapidly. The first transatlantic crossing, in 1892, was followed by more intrepid explorations culminating in the first complete circumnavigation in 1919. Many names familiar to succeeding generations of yachtsmen have featured in the Club's membership list from Claud Worth to Tilman, from Miles and Beryl Smeeton to that other remarkable couple Eric and Susan Hiscock, whose lifetimes' voyaging served as an inspiration to a growing number of long distance sailors after the war.
