That's just what I had in mind, Jennifer. Only I would bring the digits closer and remove the serif on the "1" just as on Michael's old boat (Taipan #032).

Ricky, I agree with your thoughts about the manufacturers. Let's leave the neato designs, like mascots, to the manufacturers. One-offs, like Wouter's Typhoon, can make up their own cool sail logos.

I would prefer only one insignia on one side of the sail since it would be easily read in reverse through our see-through sails.

To reiterate, the insignia will be helpful for two purposes:
1. Provide a distinct graphic to easily identify the F16 boats on the water and on the beach and to help unify and promote the class.
2. Act as a "certificate" of proof that a boat complies with the international F16 formula rules.

It appears that there are enough boats in various parts of the world to proceed with making the insignia. I defer to the folks in charge (international and country reps) on finalizing the design and getting it made. From a logistics point of view, it would seem easiest for an agreed-upon insignia design to be distributed electronically (eg as a TIFF file) and the pockets of F16s in each country can have their own made. Size and colors should also be standardized (eg 10"; black for light sails, white for dark sails). The cost will depend on volume but in the US will likely be about $10 each if about 15-20 are made. That's about the same as a movie ticket around here. So there shouldn't be any griping about the cost.
