Wow! I am confused

so let's see...

Villo has 641 (ZWB 6410579) [Hull # + Month + Year] with the new numbering 
system

then Jack has 618 which would be (ZWB 618??77 or 78) if the new numbering 
system were used

In either case, if you are asking about builders plates, they only have room 
for 7 digits. Which would look some thing like 3079641 for Villo's boat.

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.
