What could the Sailnumber be? On the plate at the rear of the Cockpit the plate says 113616, written as a pre stamped "1" and then 13616. I got numbers for the sail to put on and to my surprise they are 2 X "13616". The boat is in a perfect condition so I would be really surprised if the boat is from 1974 och 75? Still kind of fun since it is in really good shape due to the fact that the boat has been lying indoors for yeard. Can the number really be 13616?

Anyone that knows a bit of history. From the documents it was Jollesport in Nynäshamn that sold the boat (as they did with my first Laser ) .

Hi,

Your sail number is definitely 113616.

Your Laser will be from around 1983.

The plates that are on the back of the cockpit only started to be issued on UK manufactured boats sometime around 1981/1982 - but after Laser 100000. Therefore, all the plates had the first digit pre-printed with the remaining 5 digits being hand engraved or impressed on.

Over time, the first digit on some of the plates has faded and become hard to read. This post has a few more examples of the cockpit plates:

I hope that helps.
