The municipality and town (Stad) of Ostende (70,000 inhabitants) is the capital city of the arrondissement of Ostende.
The flag is horizontally divided red and yellow.
The flag was adopted on 2 September 1985. That flag has been
known since at least the XVIIth century. Wilson's "Flags at Sea"
[wil86] has a wimpel for
Ostend, and an Ostend Fighting flag (p. 68, flagchart of
William Downman, 1685-86), and on p. 69 an Ostend Ensign.

Watersport Oostende Spuikom (WOS) has its club house and a large number of mooring places at the Spuikom. Planned for drainage, the Spuikom was never used as such but proved handy for growing oysters, preserving and investigating nature, and even served as a landing place for German seaplanes during the Second World War.
The club burgee, as shown on drawings on the WOS website,is white with stylized blue letters WOS, correctly read in the vertical position.
