Hull Numbers
Posted: Fri Feb 13, 1998 1:00 am
I own a 1967 O'Day Day Sailer. It has the original O'Day data plate in side on the forward wall of the cuddy. It is engraved with a hull # of 15344 and a class # of 2724. Since this boat was built before hull numbers were required in the fibreglass and I have registration documentation back to 1972, with the boat registered against the hull number, I believe the plate has not been altered. Does anyone have an explanation for the high hull number. I have been told that O'Day tracked all of the hulls it built (regardless of type or class) by the number and assigned a class number that represented the number of boats in that class. Also the class number is the number that should appear on the sail.
