A white pennant with the Hungarian national flag in the
middle, extending all over the pennant length, and a black anchor
over the national flag, shifted to hoist. The flag flies over the
Mahart building in the center of Budapest (Pest side). It can
also be seen very often in touristic leaflets, used as logo on a
blue rectangular background.
Mahart seems to have a kind of monopoly on sailing in Hungary, so
I suspect it is a national company or the privatized avatar of
the former national company during Communist period. In that
sense, it would have been a kind of unofficial civil ensign

Balatoni Hajózási RT. - A rectangular flag with seven
blue-white-blue-white-blue-white-blue horizontal stripes and a
red canton charged with letters BH in yellow. The canton is about
40% the length of the flag and extends vertically over three
stripes. My source is an advertizement in a TV-program. The
German text says: "In eight large yachting harbours on
Balaton lake, the largest lake in Europa, we welcome the yachtmen
with various facilities of the highest standard." The
advertizement shows both the Mahart and Balatoni Hajozasi RT
flags and refers to Mahart Balaton Schiffahrts AG. The
advertizement also says 'Alapitva 1846', which I would translate
as 'established 1846'. I understand that Balaton Hajozasi RT is a
division of Mahart. I wonder if it is not also a yacht-club.

Balaton Hajozasi RT is indeed a division of Mahart and also a
yacht-club.
