What colour flag must be flown when first entering the territorial waters of another Country?
Answer: Yellow
The yellow flag is the international signal flag for, "my vessel is healthy". It is known as the "Q" flag, and in effect invites Customs Officers to inspect your vessel. Once inspected, or after a specified period awaiting inspection, the Q flag can be lowered, and need not be raised again while inside the territorial waters of that country.
Over the years, the race rules have evolved to limit the entries to a "class" of boat. What class was the largest and, arguably, the most beautiful of the America's Cup contenders?
Answer: The "J" Class
In 1903, to eliminate the need for complicated handicapping of America's Cup contenders, the Universal Rule for sailing boats entering the cup challenges was established. It, as were subsequent racing rules, was based on a complex formula involving length overall of the hull (LOA), sail area, and displacement, as well as other factors.
This resulted in the "J" class America's Cup contenders. The boats varied in LOA from 119ft to 135ft, with an average displacement of 150 tons and an average sail area of 7,500 square feet.
The class first appeared as conversions of existing craft in 1893 and continued with as many as ten "hull up" "Js" trying for cup competition. In 2001 a revival of the class was started because of their beauty. Nine "J" class boats existing today are replicas of America's Cup contenders.
