Hi Paul, I had this answer from sculpin on sailinganarchy when I was searching to change ownership of my sail number. Quote: "Sail number was assigned to the boat when it was sold, the first two are location identifiers. Totally separate from the HIN (hull identification number), which you will find on the transom, upper stbd. If you are racing you will want to register with the local sailing association, they will want your sail number (since it is hard to see the 5mm high VIN from the finish line!).
From an old post on there, here is an explanation of sail number assignment: First, go to: http://offshore.ussa...ail_Numbers.htm Next, break your sail number into two parts, the first digit and the last four. In Tim's case 8 4033. In the table on the site above, scroll down the first column to the row with 8. Now scroll across in that row to the column with the header block that contains the last four digits. 4033 falls in the 4000-4250 block. At the intersection is CYA. Sail number 84033 was issued by Canadian Yachting Association." End of quote. My sail number is 54988, which was issued by CYA Pierre Tremblay Avalanche, #54988 C&C38-3 WK >________________________________ > De : Paul Taylor <besom_ri...@yahoo.com> >À : "cnc-list@cnc-list.com" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> >Envoyé le : mercredi 10 avril 2013 11h05 >Objet : Stus-List Sail numbering > >I have a 1977 29 mk1, are the sail numbers the same as part of the hull number >or were the arbitrarily assigned. > >Sent from my iPhone >_______________________________________________ >This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album >http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/ >CnC-List@cnc-list.com > > >
