Charles, your sail number is 24. The registration materials for yours and others submitted since I took over will be in the mail this week. The problems...

Bill, Thanks for #24 and responding so quickly. Are there sail number placement requirements other than the normal starboard side higher/port side lower? I...
Bill, I haven't checked yet but I thought that the mast was not moveable so mast rake would not be a solution. I'll have to check that out and experiment as...
