You have a really good looking vintage Laser, congrats!Here is a shot of me sailing it in January with the original Elvstrom sail on Lake Ontario.

Contact the ILCA Office and they can manually adjust the sail number on your entry form. Your sail number should correspond to the number on your hull.
Nice picture!
I see you don't have any upgrades (vang, outhaul, etc..), are you nuts or so good!??
Good luck anyways!
8817: Way to go, you rock... keep the thing flat and dry... Your willingness to enter such an old boat in a large event like this speaks volumes for the one design concept.

As for sail numbers and chartering boats, have a look at rule 4(e). Personally, if I didn't own a boat or my sail on my boat was in poor condition, I'd be chartering the matching sail and hull, assuming it's one of the boats used the previous week at the Open Standard Worlds, as it will be virtually a brand new boat and sail. If you are still in the situation of borrowing a sail from the club boats, I'd be doing a quick talk with your club and buying the boat which the sail corresponds to, for say $1 and selling the boat back to them after the Worlds for $1. So technically at the time of the event you were the owner and thus complying with Rule 4(e).
And I thought I had the worlds oldest boat!
I just sold my 10677 with original Elvstrom sail to become a club boat at Elwood Sailing Club, Melbourne, Australia. What I love is that my boat came all the way from Canada to Australia, some time in the 70's. I'll miss her, but I'm loving using the turbo kit on my new boat, 181726. The turbo kit certainly makes life a lot easier, tomorrow I find out if it makes me any faster.
