[Public-List] A30 struck by power boat: Serial number on pre-liner A30

[Glenn Brooks]

Some A30’s of this era have a serial number stamped or cast into the transom at the stern up near one corner of the deck. Some other early 19 pre-1968 models have a builders plate riveted into the cockpit molding. Don’t know how they decided which is which. Dolce (1968) has/had the number on the transom.

With a demolished cockpit (toe rail, both coamings, pushpit, solar panel and tracker, cleats, primary winches, severed backstay, splintered companionway hatch...) and more (fallen severely bent mast, damaged stem casting, damaged hull/deck joint at point of impact, possibly damaesd forestay/furler,...) it is looking to all who have seen the boat as a total loss.
