In Response To: sail numbers - size? (Kinney 4.6 #592)

According to the original Class rules: "The registration number of each boat, as attached to the transom, shall be the sail number of the boat. The sail number shall be glued, sewn or otherwise clearly marked to each side of the sail, with the number on the starboard side placed above that on the port side in accordance with IYRU rules. The numbers shall be of the following minimum dimensions: Height 300mm (11 3/4"), Width 200mm (8"), Thickness 45mm (1 3/4"), Space between numbers 60mm (2 3/8")." There is no mention in the rules as to color. There is also no specific mention of sails requiring a number to race. However, they do say that "Sails must comply with the rules and specifications of the Harpoon Class Association..." which as quoted above require them.
