i have an '81 H16 (says the HIN). The sail number is 69201. Is this the correct sail number, or are these sails from some other boat? |

I have # 65373 on an 83 hobie 16, so your sails may be slightly newer than that |

Sail numbers are the serial number of the sail (for the most part) and have nothing to do with the hull number (HIN). 69xxx numbers would be from the very early 80's, so I suspect they are the original sails. You can also get a rough idea of the age by the sail color pattern, although certain patterns were made for many years. Current sail numbers are in the 115xxx range. Some boats will have a two or three digit number - they are from supplied boat/sail events where the sails are sequentially numbered for that event. |
