Yacht Racing Flags
January 5th, 2009
What is the name of the flag that it hoisted up 5 minutes before the start of a yacht race?
Sporties crosword Sunday Telegraph 30.09.07.
It varies, not all yacht racing rules are the same. It is usually called “The warning flag” (5 minute mark, usually red or blue) or the “preparatory signal” (5 or 4 minute mark, usually red, blue, or black).
I hope that helps, good luck.
