IIRC, as this has been discussed, that's only necessary at the point you, or your fleet, decides there is an issue w/ duplicate sail numbers, or you've risen to the point that you're sailing across a wide enough geographic area that, at the level of racing you've attained, there is an issue w/ duplicate numbers. Your boat likely came w/ sail numbers as the hull number - there should only be one C&C 29-II w/ sail number 506; so if I'm sailing one design w/ other 29-II's (in my dreams!) all is good. If I'm sailing phrf, and there is another boat in my class where I race w/ that number, it may be beneficial to have an assigned number. And the higher I get ranked regionally, nationally, or globally, the more chance of dup numbers, hence the assigned number.

"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.

No club is going to reject your entry to a regatta or series because you didn't buy a number from CYA. These people are supposed to be doing all they can to make it easier to get into racing.

Just ordered a new kevlar Genoa. What's the deal with sail numbers? How do you decide what number? Is hull serial number legit?
