Nyländska Jaktklubben, a yacht club founded in Helsinki in 1861, first used the blue-and-white cross design in Finland.
The club's flag featured a blue cross on a white background, similar to the St. Petersburg Yacht Club flag. The design was traced to the Russian Navy's ensign. This usage predates the 1863 proposal attributed to Helsingfors Dagblad in the legacy data.
