[Public-list] Anyone looking for a project?

[Villo Marmei]

Hi Mike.....
I have this funny situation....My hull plate and transom stamp reads ZWB30 
64105 79 and my sail number is KC-618. That is...hull number 641 and sail 
number 618. Someone else here must have hull 618 and sails 641.
Another question ??? What should I call myself ??? KC641 or KC618 ??? Go 
figure ???
Take care Villo
