Identifying the Course
The race committee displays one of these flags to identify the course.
"T" course:
This is the triangle-sausage course that ends downwind.
"J" course:
This is the triangle-sausage course that ends upwind (one leg more than "T" course).
"W" course:
This is the upwind-downwind course.
An extended course (two more legs) is indicated by also flying the "E" flag:
Extended course
The course flag is usually raised just before the start sequence, so remember to check then!
