Sail numbers
Before you sail your new boat for the first time, it is most
important to apply the self-adhesive numbers to the sail.
The sail numbers are exclusive to the boat and correspond
with the serial number/sail number plate. These are always
located inside the boat attached to the toe strap.
Follow these instructions carefully it is not a job to be
hurried.
CHAMPIONSHIP NUMBERS
(please note all measurements are minimums)
- Should be placed on both sides of the sail with the
numbers on the starboard side being above the ones on the
port side.
- The height of the numbers should be 230mm.
- The numbers are supplied as ‘digital eights’ from which
you can produce your own sail number.
- The preferred style of cutting numbers from ‘digital eights’
is shown below.
- The outside corners should be snipped as shown above.
- There should be 45mm between each element of the
complete number.
- Both sets of numbers should be in the 2nd coloured panel
from the
bottom of the sail.
- The numbers should be in a contrasting colour to the
sailcloth.
- Use white numbers on red/ dark blue/purple sail panels.
- Use black numbers on grey/ light blue/ yellow/ orange sail
panels.
STARBOARD SIDE
- The start of the number should be placed 45mm from the
leech of the sail.
- The upper edge of the number should be 45mm from the
upper seam of the panel.
PORT SIDE
- On the port side of the sail, the upper edge of the
numbers should be 45mm from the lower edge of the
starboard numbers.
- The end of the last number should finish 20mm from the
reinforcement patch.
ATTACHING NUMBERS
In our experience the best way to stick the numbers down
is to peel away a corner, line up the letter and then attach
the corner. Pull away the backing paper slowly as you push
the number onto the sail. Fiddly but it works!
If in doubt -
please ask
Snip 2/3mm off the corner of
