How to dress your ship
When you dress your ship over all, you use the 40 flags of the International Signal
Code
Some ships (mainly war ships) add the flags of the OTAN code.
Il est élégant et permis de hisser un pavillon national à chaque tête de mât.
It is elegant to hoist a national flag at each masthead.
The ideal situation is to have sections that just fall exactly between the attachment
points. It will never be the case ...
Otherwise hoist your flags in order to make a continuous line in the high ends and
extend in the low ends with some rope.
You dress your ship in theory from sunrise to sunset, in practice from 8:00 to 20:00.
In Britain the recommended order by Royal Yachting Association and widly used :

Some attribute this order to some French naval officer from the seventeenth century.
It does not use «answer» and has the advantage of alternating 2 letter flags, 1 penant,2 letter flags, 1
penant..
