I've dispatched plans to 4 continents and 6 countries. I know RG has guys building in NZ and probably elsewhere. When I send my plans out I ask people to let me know when they start building so I can assign them a sail number. Before i do so I'd appreciate peoples thoughts on should we assign numbers globally as a class (my preferred solution) or should we let each design be numbered separately. RG I'd like to hear from you on this one, you've been very quiet recently (obviously busy). Given that this forum is a central communication tool I don't see any reason why we couldn't ask Mary to pin a sail number thread at the top allowing us to easily administer the number allocation process.

Thoughts?

I think if you want this to be a multi-design formula class, your preferred solution is the right one. OTOH, I don't recall if that issue was ever finally resolved across all the interested parties.

Like most classes, shouldn't we be allocating sail numbers with the national identifier first? whose design it is is irrelevant. Sail number thread here is fine with me.

Definateley want AUS etc but are you happy to handle each country seperately or do it in total. ie do we have and AUS 1 , NZ 1 and USA 1 or would they be AUS 1 , NZ 2 and USA 3 ?

I suggest the last one, following the Laser example, for two reasons:

1) It enables to know the aproximate age of a boat anywhere only checking its sail number.

2) The total number of boats made is always known and permanentely advertised in the sails.

I agree with this

How about we start here and then migrate to a dedicated tread when it becomes necessary?

NZL 002 - Vudu 3.8
NZL 003 - Vudu 3.8
NZL 004 - Vudu 3.8
AUS 005 - DS 12
FIN 006 - DS 12
AUS 007 - DS 12
