Hull number

hla...this comes from the open internet but is what I sued to decode my laser hull number..good luck...Antolin

=======================
1. Sail Number: Check the transom of your boat for the serial number,
it'll look something like this:

a. PFS 80000 L879 or SLI F1234 F494 or PSC D4444 L586
b. On older Lasers the last four digits of the serial number may be
missing.
c. On very old Lasers, 1971 to 1973 approximately, the sail number
only will be found on the deck under the bow eye.
4. The remaining characters indicate when the boat was built and the model
year.
2. The first three characters indicate the builder.
a. PSC Performance Sailcraft
b. PSB Pearson Small Boats,
c. SLI Sunfish Laser Inc,
d. PSL ??? Performance Sailcraft Laser (U.K.)???
e. ZID Performance Sailcraft in Canada (original builders of the
Laser)
3. The next five characters are the sail number.
a. Your sail number is the 4 digits in your serial number that
preceeds the date.
b. Boats with sail number 100,000 and above will have a letter to
indicate the first two digits of the sail number.
1. A = 10, B = 11, C = 12 D = 13, E =14 etc..
4. The last four characters, 1-letter followed by 3 numbers is the
month/date of manufacture/model year.
a. The letter preeceding the last 3 numbers is hte month the boat
was built.
1. A=Aug, B=Sept, C=Nov, D=Dec, E=Jan, F=Feb, G=mar,
H=April, I=May, K=June, L=July. (This is from the guys at Sunfish/Laser,Inc.
b. The single number immediately following the letter is the year
the boat was built.
c. The last two numbers are the model year of the boat.
d. Example:
1. Ex. D494
2. built in December (D)of 94 (4) for the model year 94
(94). 3. A697: built in August (A) 96, but a 97 Model,
4. similar to cars VIN numbers.
5. EXAMPLES: (Use your secret decoder ring for these): For example if the
serial number is:
a. SLI F1234 F494
1. The manufacturer is "Sunfish/Laser, inc." (SLI)
2. The sail number is 151234. The first two digits "15"
being indicated by the character "F"
3. The boat was manufactuered in June, 1994 and was a 1994
model.
a. F = Febrary
b. 4 = 1994
c. 94 = 1994 model year
b. PSC D4444 L686
1. PSC = Pearson Small Boats
2. The Sail # is 134444, (D = 13)
3. L686 = manufactuered in July of 1986 as a 1986 model
