<DIV><FONT size=2>Going through some earlier files that I had saved I found lots
of information on hull numbers. </FONT><FONT size=2> Some of this
correspondence mentioned that the hull number comprised three elements,
length,year and production number and was found on a metal plate attached
to the boat in the area of the companionway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>"Tait Tait" has no metal plate anywhere,attached or in a
locker or drawer, but does have stamped into the cill behind the companionway
steps,and into the hull inside the stern lazarette "HULL NUMBER 42ESJ82" This
number also appeared on the Florida title with 1972 as the year of
manufacture.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I take the serial number 478 from the mainsail but as someone
pointed out sails can be secondhand.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Does anyone have any ideas how" Tait Tait" could have
acquired this strange hull number ?</FONT></DIV>
