My new sail came with numbers that I can apply. So now I need to figure out what my number is.

I have a few letters, then (if I recall correctly from 12 hours ago) about 5 numbers. Something like 10352. Is the hull number on a 79 DSII five digits? And, does one only apply them to the starboard side, or do I need to order a few more blanks to do both sides?

Thanks.

My new sail came with a roll bag, rather than a fold bag (9' x 8", rather than 3' x 2'). I gather it is better for the sail to roll it, and this one seems a bit more creaseable than the old. However, it doesn't fit in the bed of my truck so I suppose I'll have to lash it to the mast for transport. Unless there are other ideas out there.

I have the long bag also when I got my new sails last year. Although I know it is probably better to not fold it, once I put it in the long bag, I fold (or partially fold) it over to fit in my cuddy cabin befor I lock it for storage.

The class number is suppose to be on both sides of the sail. I had the local sail maker put mine on ($20). I only have four digits in my class number so I had enough come with the sail. I suppose you need a couple extra to make up a five digit number.

10352 would be about right for a '79. TRW is a '79, #10099.

Sail numbers go on both sides of the sail, higher on the SB side.
