I am posting for a friend who just bought a DS 1 in Richmond VA. He has no hull number plate anywhere on the boat. He is told it is boat No. 301 and has ordered new sails from intentsity with those numbers. We now have 8 boats in our fleet at CRYCC and this DS 1 is a little different then the other 5. It was boards blocking off the transom and side hulls. There is an access port in the center of the transom but it looks like an after market addition.
How can i confirm this Hull No? How old would it make the boat? What is the oldest DS1 active today? Does anyone else have these boards along the inside of their hull?
