Zig zag would normally be done as a series of straight lines not curves. Each leg would be for a standard time, 10min I think.
There were different "standard" zig zags. Commodore would use signal flags to order the start, thereafter each ship could work to the clock, knowing what turn was next. On each "leg" they would follow a straight line.
