Etiquette and Savoir-(bien)Vivre

 

 

"Dressing Ship"

Ron needs a dress - Pat needs dressing :)Use all your International Code Signal Flags, but not the officer's flags, club burgees and national flags. Raise flags 0800 and lower at sunset. Display at anchor only, except for a vessels maiden or final voyage.

The Yacht Ensign (for US Documented or Coast Guard registered vessels ) is hoisted at the stern staff and the Union Jack may be displayed at the bow staff. A rainbow of International Code flags are then arranged from the waterline forward to the waterline aft. Alternate flags and pennants. There are twice as many letter flags as numeral pennants, try to follow the following esthetic sequence. 

Starting forward: AB2,UJ1, KE3, GH6, IV5, FL4, DM7, PO Third Repeater, RN First Repeater, ST Zero, CX9, WQ8, ZY Second Repeater
