Royal Irish Yacht Club ensign
- ... that the Royal Irish Yacht Club (ensign pictured) required its members to give the club information about the coast and any fisheries they came across during their sailing? Source: American Yachts: Their Clubs and Races. C. Scriber's & Sons. p. 6. ISBN 0342328549.
- ALT1:... that the Royal Irish Yacht Club (ensign pictured) retained their royal prefix despite the establishment of the Republic of Ireland? Source: Irish Times

5x expanded by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 12:18, 5 March 2020 (UTC).
5X completed within the last seven days. Hooks are interesting, but ALT1 has more historical significance and explains the title of the article - strongly recommend using ALT1. No close para-phrasing detected. Images are in the public domain. QPQ done. No dup links. Citations check. Good to go. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 23:44, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
The source for the ALT1 hook fact is a generic overview which does not mention the Royal Irish Yacht Club at all. I have removed the citation from the article. Yoninah (talk) 21:04, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I have added two more sources for this. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 22:41, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- @The C of E: thank you. But the first citation looks like an opinion piece, and I'm unable to locate the fact in the Jstor article without a page number. Yoninah (talk) 23:02, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I have also added a link to Hansard (column 237) where it clearly states it is in the Irish Republic yet retains a royal title. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:41, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
