This is idea of leaving something in your car as a signal is on the right
tack. Is there an official maritime signal flag or pennant for "sailer at
sea" like "diver below?"
We used to do this sailing open ocean in Australia (not sailboards, cats
and such.) The sailing club had an "out" carpark and an "in" carpark. If
parked in the "out" it meant you were "out," if you parked in the "in"
carpark, it meant you were "in" (the clubhouse, probably drinking.) This
is a complex system, I know, but you get hang of it after a few trys...
Perhaps everyone could start putting an obviously sailing oriented device
on their steering wheel (like a sailbag or a spare mast foot etc.) Having
something on the passenger seat is open to misinterpretation -- I wouldn't
like to return to my car (full of sailing junk) after rollerblading, to
find people mounting a search and rescue operation for nothing (perhaps
while actually lost people are busy going hypothermic out there.)
