The charge is the same in the USA (unless you are a member of US Sailing, then the cost is only $100.00).
"RE: Sail Numbers This is an application for a US Sailing sail number. It is a five digit number that we issue in sequence. There is a charge of $100 to members of US Sailing and $125 to non-members. If you would like to proceed, and fax back the following information, or mail it back with a check, we would than forward a confirmation letter with the sail number assignment. If an email address is provided the sail number assignment will be sent there.: http://offshore.ussailing.org/Sail_Numbers.htm Sail Canada (and US Sailing I assume) are more non-profit and volunteer than for-profit. They need to raise money somehow to operate and so support and lobby for the sailing community. Ken H.
