Ahoy Villo:

La confusion, c'est moi!
I have hull number 618 with sail number KC641.
When Whitby originally laid up hull number 618 in late 1977, early 1978, 
there were minor aesthetic flaws in gelcoat colouration, i.e., 
splotches.  I suspect strongly that they held off and commissioned her 
(hull 618) much later - immediately after hull/sail KC640 - and gave 
your hull 641, sail number KC618 in May 1979, ergo the ZWB 6410579.
The gelcoat defects have never bothered me as I Awlgripped hull 618 when 
I bought her in early 1993.
Hope this helps.
