Display your sail number on your sail with adhesive-backed sail numbers. These insignia numbers are made from a sticky back dacron material and do not add any significant weight to the sail. We carry pre-cut style "Euro" numbers and the traditional 'Digital 8' style numbers, which can be cut to any specific number, in a variety of number heights and colors. For Laser sails, select the 12 inch numbers in either Digital 8 or Euro style. We also stock Hobie Cat specific numbers for boats like the Hobie 16, Hobie 17, and Hobie 17 plus Tasar class specific red numbers.
Digital 8 - These are universal numbers in the shape of the digit '8' from which you can cut any specific number you need.
Pre Cut / Euro - Unlike Digital 8 numbers, 'Euro' style or 'Pre Cut' numbers are cut to specific numbers or letters for a clean finish. These are preferred by many sailors as they have a higher quality look on the sail.

This multi-rigged boat excels in a large range of wind conditions. As a Restricted One-Design boat, skippers will be putting their sailing skills to the test not their wallet. It promises close and exciting racing in an affordable and easily maintained design.
New class rules effective 1/1/24, 2023 df95 coa regatta management manual this guide is meant to provide both some required standards for all ranking regattas as well as some best practices. all clubs that plan to host a ranking regatta need to read and follow this manual. (1/15/2023) , joining the class association – apply to get a sail number – see below. .
Sail Registry (Getting Assigned A Sail Number) To get a sail number, review the sail registry page (click the sail registry tab above) and find an available number, fill out the online form (click the DF95 registration tab above) and request that number (you will be asked to only put the last two digits of the assigned sail number on your sails so you can just request those two numbers and I will find a sail number ending in those two numbers), submit payment via paypal from the bottom of the registration form. Then, please, be patient. I try to update the registry at least once a week (usually Thursday evenings) so it might be a few days before you hear from me. After, I register you and your number, you will receive an email verifying your sail number.
This is a set of numbers and class insignia that are designed to fit the IOM RC sailboat. They may be suitable for other classes as well. You can re-scale them as you see fit, but be aware that they may no longer fit the IOM specifications if you do.
There are 3D numbers and insignia ready for printing. They are saved as one STL file. To separate them, use your CAD software to split the disjointed mesh into each separate piece. Once printed you can tape them together into whatever configuration you need. Make sure to allow room for a 1 to be placed in front of your number in case of a duplicate at the regatta
There are different formats of 2D numbers with bounding boxes around them to help with spacing and alignment.
You can use the DXF in your CAD software to use as a base to customize and extrude into your own templates for tracing with a marker.
You can use the SVG files as cut template files with your vinyl cutter.
You can print the PDF file to use as templates for tracing from underneath the sail if it is somewhat transparent.
These files are set up to meet the sizing standards for the IOM class of sailboat. They are drawn in the normal Helvetica font. There are connector bars drawn as well for numbers such as zero, which require two parts that should be held together for stencils or extrusions.
The bounding boxes around the numbering meets the minimum spacing requirements between individual numbers and vertical spacing as well.
There are four sets of info on the drawings and STL files:
To mark on your sails you can use various means depending on the material your sails are made of. For most non-woven material, such as mylar, a black Sharpie brush tip marker is ideal, the ink flows on quite heavy and dark compared to a regular sharpie.

My Cruiser Life Magazine
Have you ever noticed how most sailboats have numbers on their sails? It’s one of those small details that you might not think much about.
But depending on what sort of boat you run, those numbers might carry a lot of meaning. Pretty much every boat has sail numbering, but they mean different things to different sailors.
Here’s a look at what those numbers mean and how to choose and install them if you’re ready to be noticed on the water.
What are sail numbers and what do they mean, factory numbers, one-design or class numbers (like international laser class association), racing yachts and sail number racing rules, cruising boats – owner’s choice, how to pick your numbers, how to apply sailboat numbers, sail numbers and numbers of sails, faqs – questions about sail numbering.
First off, the purpose of sailboat numbers is solely to make your boat easily identifiable from a long way away. In many instances, a group of sailboats looks indistinguishable from one another from shore. Numbers are usually shown on the mainsail, but many racing boats have them installed on every sail they have.
One thing that sail numbering is not is an official registration or documentation number. There are some cases when the number is unique and traceable, but not by any legal state authority.
In most cases, the cruising sailor will say, “so what?” But if you think about it, sail numbers can help another boat identify you and call you on the radio. For example, instead of calling the “White hulled sailboat off of Cape Henry,” a ship could call “Sailboat number 99 near Cape Henry.” That’s a lot more specific and a lot more likely to get your attention. Sail numbers are very easy to read through binoculars, after all.
In contrast, racing sailors are often identified by their numbers. In a racing class, where every boat is identical, the only distinguishing attribute on the entire boat is the number on the sails.
The same is true in the offshore racing world. Many offshore racers have unique numbers assigned by the racing governance boards in their home countries.
So let’s take a closer look at the various types of numbers that might be displayed on a boat’s sails.
This one is for most cruising boats. When the boat is delivered from the factory, they install sails made by their sailmaker. These will always include the boat maker’s logo and some identifying number. Usually, this is a sequential hull number.
For example, my boat displays the distinctive CR38, indicating that it is a Cabo Rico 38. The number 99 refers to the boat’s hull number off of the factory line. Therefore, it is the 99th Cabo Rico 38 that the company made.
This system is entirely random, of course. A builder might choose a different scheme to use or put no numbers on the sails at all.
On another note, sails don’t last forever. Most sailors have to buy new sails every decade or so, and in doing so, no rule says they need to stick with the same numbering scheme the manufacturer did.
For class racing, the numbers are significant because they are often the only way to tell the boats apart while they’re on the water. The whole idea of class racing is that the boats are identical, and only the sailor’s skills win the race.
Each class association issues numbers and class rules dictate precisely how and where the number is displayed.. For example, the International Optimtimis Dinghy Association (IODA) issues numbers for several small classes.
If larger boats are raced offshore in big competitions, it is usually registered with their home country’s national authority. Here in the US, that’s US Sailing. National letters or a country code will usually precede the unique sail number .
US Sailing works with regional associations around the country to ensure that sail numbers are not duplicated. But, of course, there are also large parts of the country that a regional club doesn’t cover, and in those cases, numbers are issued directly from US Sailing.
These US numbers are five digits long. The last four digits are divided up among the regional clubs. So, for example, USA 03000 would be assigned to someone from the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association .
What if the boat isn’t raced in any official events? As described above, maybe the factory installed the hull number or some other digits of significance. But if those sails are shot and it’s time for new ones, what should the skipper do?
They could choose to do nothing. If sail numbers aren’t crucial in what you do—and they aren’t for most liveaboard and traveling sailors—then you could simply not install any.
Or, you could mimic what the factory did. For example, the company insignia and number on the sail might be meaningful to you, like the maker’s badge on the hood of your car. In that case, you can have it recreated by the sail loft when they build your sails.
Or, you could do something completely original and meaningful to you and your crew. Sail lofts are using modern materials and dyes now that can make sails with printed patterns and graphics.
Many cruising sailors have designed their own logos for use on their sails. One famous example is SV Delos, whose sails feature their YouTube channel’s brand graphics and look great in their videos.
So if you have a cruising boat and need to pick some numbers, how do you figure out what to choose? If you’re buying a new sail, the sail maker can usually help you decide.
But the choice is entirely up to you. You could pick numbers of personal significance, like your birthday or anniversary. You could pick numbers about your boat, like the date you purchased her, her make and model dimensions, or the hull number.
If you don’t know your boat’s hull number, it is usually found in the middle of the HIN, which is the boat’s official hull identification number . The HIN is molded into the boat’s transom and included on all official paperwork. If your boat is registered or documented, the HIN is on the paperwork.
The first few digits of the HIN correspond to the country of origin and the manufacturer. In the middle, there should be a model code or serial number. Finally, the last four digits of the HIN are the date that the boat’s keel was laid by the factory.
If you ever want to apply your own sail numbers, it’s not hard to do. For the most part, they are made with self-adhesive lettering protected by backing paper. The biggest considerations are to ensure that the adhesive is strong enough and that material is pliable enough to be folded with the sail.
You can purchase lettering and logo material from most sail lofts or chandleries. You can also purchase pre-made block letters and numbers specifically intended for sails.
When putting the numbers on the sail, ensure that they are spaced perfectly. You’ll also want to think about how the sail will look when backlit by the sun. You can see the numbers on opposite sides, so you don’t want to let them overlap. Doing so would make both sets illegible on both the port side and starboard side.
Stingy Sailor has a great how-to on making and applying sail numbers .
Finally, we should note one final source of possible confusion. On racing sailboats, different sails are often referred to by different numbers! This isn’t an identification number specific to the boat, like the numbers discussed above.
Instead, this is a style of sail. Sails are numbered based on the wind conditions that they’re best for. Quantum Sails has a good write-up about the different shapes of jib sail and the numbers that correspond to them.
Many cruising sails may be familiar with the Code 0 (zero) sail, suitable for light air. This is an example of this numbering system used on racing boats.
Sail numbers mean different things on different boats. They are simply a way to identify a particular boat from a distance.
On racing boats, the numbers help spectators tell who’s winning—and who’s not. On cruising boats, the numbers are often random and chosen by the boat manufacturer or owner.
Boat’s are commonly identified by a HIN, or hull identification number. This number isn’t found on the sails but rather molded into the boat’s fiberglass hull. It’s usually located somewhere on the transom.
The HIN works just like the VIN (vehicle identification number) in a car. It is unique to that boat and used on all official paperwork, like the registration. You can decode the HIN to find the manufacturer, serial number, and date of manufacture.
On racing boats, different-sized headsails are given different numbers. For example, a number 4 jib is a small heavy air sail used in windy conditions.
Racers are always looking for an advantage, so like a golfer might choose a different club for a long drive, a skipper might call for a different sail combination to better match the wind speed and angle.

Moving forward in a straight line. First, the basic skills. With the boat in the water, start with the wind half way between the front (bow) of the boat, and the side (beam). Keeping the rudder straight, trim (move) the sails so that they are close to the hull (close hauled) and the boat should move forward.
