Royal Australian Navy Sailing Association

I wonder if the Blue Ensign with a crown in the fly and an Australian White Ensign canton could be the ensign of the Royal Australian Navy Sailing Association? If not, I would be interested to know, what is their ensign?

Most unlikely - the RANSA burgee is exactly the same as its British counterpart: white, red St. George's Cross, blue naval crown in the middle.
