Sail Numbers

Hi all,

When I was bending the sails onto Teke’s Pride today I noticed there
were no numbers. Since I plan on racing the boat around the area and
I know of at least one other F21 on my home waters, I am planning to
add numbers to my mainsail.

Here is the question my boat was manufactured in the US and her hull
number is 345… Should my sail number be 345 or US345?

My main just has the hull number (155), no “US”. I think for larger
boats that that USsailing association issues 5 digit sequential sail
numbers for a fee of $125 for non members.

Hank,

Thanks for the reply. I’ll go with the plain 345.

Does anybody know how the British boats were numbered? Did they
continue the hull/sail numbers in sequence after the US boats or did
they start over with #1 since they had a diferent manufacturer?

Clark,

I sail a UK-built twin lift keel F21 made in 1989 with sail number
205. I have collected a number of F21 articles from the UK yachting
press and it seems that just over 100 boats were built over here in
the period 1980 to 1996. Of these about 22 were the Warwick Collins
wing keel and ther rest were mainly the twin lift keel version with a
few fin keel boats. I have collected data on sail numbers vs year of
build & my best guess is that the UK boats started at sail number 100
around 1980? On this basis I guess I have a USA “twin” with USA sail
number 205? Perhaps he/she would like to get in touch?

When you see a US in front of a sail number it is a number provided by US Sailing for sanctioned racing events. Normally, a hull number is placed on the original new sails that came with the boat.

Hi Wilf
Ours must have been pretty close to yours when they were being built - Sail number 207. Maybe we also have a ‘twin’ in the US!
Hoping to get up to Windermere this weekend if the weather holds out.
