For boats built in North America, the following works
What's my sail number? How old is my boat?
Check the transom of your boat for the serial number, it'll look something like this:
OQTG9363 M900
The first three characters indicate the builder. The next five characters are the sail number. The remaining characters indicate when the boat was built and the model year.
Boats with sail number 100,000 and above will have a letter to indicate the first two digits of the sail number. A = 10, B = 11, C = 12 etc..
For example if the serial number is: OQT H1234 Z500 then the sail number is 171234. The first two digits "17" being indicated by the character "H".
On older Lasers the last four digits of the serial number may be missing. On very old Lasers, 1971 to 1973 approximately, the sail number only will be found on the deck under the bow eye.
