This article further builds on our understanding of dinghy racing at Oxford Sailing Club.
The image opposite explains the sequencing of the flags at the start of a typical race. These flags are usually either displayed on the starting hut or starting boat (Skippy).
Each fleet (i.e. group of similar dinghies) has a fleet flag and each fleet will get 6 minutes warning before their race starts.
When your fleet flag goes up, it is a signal that that fleet will start in 6 minutes time. The fleet flag comes down to signal the start for all boats in that fleet.
