AP Flag – Answering Pennant

Postponement

What it means: The race is delayed. It won’t start as scheduled.


What you do:

  • Don’t get ready yet
  • Wait for instructions (check the notice board or listen for announcements)
  • You’ll get a new warning signal when the race committee is ready

AP combinations you might see stacked with it:

  • AP over H — Postponed; further signals will be made ashore
  • AP over A — Postponed; no more racing today
  • AP over a numeral pennant (1—9) — postponed that many hours from the original start time
