A message might be sent from PRO to a boat or all boats, for example the start time, or
a penalty notice, or the official race finish time.
The other day we saw “PRO Rave 1 Terminated” which told the boats the ongoing race had been cancelled.
The reason was high winds but the boats didn’t need to know a reason.
