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?

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 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="" />
