Excerpt from Code of Yachting Signals
HE flags used are those of the Roger's Commercial Code. When using T the Yachting Code, the Club Flag will serve as the distinguishing pennant, and in all cases, except in the preparatory signals and numerals, it must be hoisted over the signal flags. Answers will, as far as practicable, be made by the flags representing Yes and No. Except in the case hereinafter noted, every yacht in the squadron will run up her answering pennant as soon as the signal on the flag-ship is understood, and will keep it flying until the signals are taken.
