Unregistered | 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? | | | Re: Sail numbers

Unregistered | 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. | | | Re: Sail numbers

Thoughts? 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. Cheers RG | | | Re: Sail numbers

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.

Unregistered | I spoke to Phill about a month ago and he suggested that for personal reasons his 12 was temporily on hold. If this is not the case I'm sure he'll chime in. | | | Re: Sail numbers

Posts: 1,307 Asuncion, Paraguay | I have started to build Nicks boat, and I think it would be nice to him (and me) to asign it a rather low sailnumber. If things go on like this there will be 100 boats before X-mas <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> This is the type of trouble I like: no single digit numebrs available, hurry to get double digits while they are still available... RG: the chinese like the numbers six, eight and nine. If you offer them the 60s, 80s and 90s instead of the sequential numbers they would be normally assigned, they will probably consider this a courtesy, a favor and an inteligent move. The double luck "88" could even be sold at a premium in China, as well as the combinations 66, 68, 69, 86, 89, 96, 98 and 99. It is also good for their marketing because it will seem that more boats have been built/sold already. Congratulations!
