RACE SIGNALS
The meanings of visual and sound signals are stated below. An arrow pointing up or down ( ¯ ) means that a visual signal is displayed or removed. A dot ( · ) means a sound; five short dashes (– – – – –) mean repetitive sounds; a long dash (—) means a long sound. When a visual signal is displayed over a class flag, fleet flag, event flag or race area flag, the signal applies only to that class, fleet, event or race area.
