Re: [Cal_Boats] Do you know the meaning of all the characters in a hull number?

CABD0056D686 Translates as: CAB = CAL Boats D = 28 (aka: 28-2) 0056 is your Class# in other words, you have the 56th CAL 28 built (also known as Hull# or Sail#) D6 = Manufacture date: D = April, 6 = 1986 86 = Model year, in this case 1986. This HIN used the updated format introduced with the 1984 Model year. Older (1973-83) CALs will have a format such as CABxhhhhMyym (x = model, hhhh = Hull#, Myy = Model Year, m = month of manufacture- where A = Aug, B = Sept. etc) or CABxhhhhmmyy (mm = Month of manufacture, yy = year of manufacture.)

Wow!! Excelent! Thank you very much. So if I'm going to use this number as the reference to have it printed in the sails for regatta purpuses, my number will be PUR056, right?
