Identification.
Your RS 500 can be identified by two numbers, one is the sail number and the
other is the Hull Identification Number.
The sail number is the number by which you register your RS 500 with
insurance companies, the class association and also when you sign on for
events. Not only is the sail number on the mainsail itself; it is also embossed
just below the top rudder fitting on the transom.
The Hull Identification Number, or HIN, is required by European law. Every
new boat sold should display a HIN to show that it meets all the guidelines set
by the European community and is safe to use up to the conditions mentioned
in ‘3.1 Design Category’. Your RS 500 complies with European law to
category C (explained later) and hence displays a HIN which is imprinted on
the starboard side of the transom.
The HIN is purely to show that your RS 500 meets European regulation, and
therefore should be referred to by its sail number.
