Sail Number Application:
Provided in the delivery kit are 4 red and 8 blue or black sail numbers. In order to participate in Laser regattas you will need to apply the
numbers to your sail for easy identification.
The sail number corresponds to the identification number that is imprinted on the starboard side of the transom. The identification number
will be a series of letters and numbers. The first three letters are the manufacturers code followed by an additional letter that will stand for
the first two digits of the sail number. The letter A stands for the number 10, and the progression logically continues with B = 11, C = 12
etc... These first two numbers will be represented on the sail with the red numbers.
The following four digits are the remainder of the sail number. Use the blue or black sail numbers for the remaining 4 digits. For example,
if your hull identification number is OQTH4714B506, your sail number would be 174714.
The remainder of the numbers and letters in the identification number will stand for the date in which the boat was manufactured.

secure transportation and gunwale supports for proper storage.
SEITECH dollies allow you to spend less time getting your boat to
and from the water and more time on the water.

Sail Care:
It is important to take proper care of your sail in order for it to last longer and perform to the standard
that they were designed for. Follow these simple tips to help extend the life of your sail.
1. If you are sailing in salt water, be sure to rinse out your sail with fresh water after every use.
Dacron sails do not absorb water or salt but the salt will dry on the sail making them stiff. The salt in
humid weather can attract moisture that may lead to mildew on your sail.
2. To wash your sail, NEVER machine wash them. Doing so will damage the material as well as remove
the finish of the sail. If your sail becomes dirty, clean it with a mild dish detergent and rinse with
fresh water. Do not bleach or use other harsh chemicals on the sail for they can also ruin the finish,
decreasing the life of the sail. It is not recommended to store your sail wet, doing so is an invitation
for mildew to grow.
3. It is not recommended to dry your sail in the sun because other than when in use, over exposure of
UV rays will slowly break down the material of the sail. Be aware of the surface that you are drying
your sail on as asphalt and other parking lot surfaces are very abrasive to the sail material and may
contain chemicals (i. e. oil) that can damage the sail. Avoid hanging your sails up to dry in the
breeze, unnecessary flogging will greatly reduce the life of the sail.
4. Flaking or rolling your sail is highly recommended. Crumpling a sail will crack the finish of the
material which quickly reduces the life of the sail (Figure 83).
5. Make sure to regularly inspect your sail for loose or torn stitching or small tears in the cloth. Have
any stitching or tears repaired by a local sailmaker before they become more of a problem.
