Hi sailors,
Thanks for all of your input!! As most/all of you suggested, I searched
high and low in the starboard locker in the cockpit (for that matter, all
storage areas) for the hull number but was unable to locate it. Let me cut
to the chase and say why I am interested in finding this information. When
I bought this boat a couple of years ago, there was no paperwork, nor
knowledge from the previous owner, as to the name of the boat. Doing some
research on "renaming" a boat, I come to find that it is wrought with
superstition. So I figure I need to do my due diligence and try to discover
the name of my boat. So my thinking went that if I could find the hull
number, maybe one of the old salts on the 22 list would recognize the
number and offer up some history. That hasn't happened. Tom, you mentioned
that you sold a sail with 802 on it to a owner in Utah. Happen to remember
who it was? 802 is a newer boat and by observations of the photo I
provided, that is what I have. In any case, the most important part of the
ritual of renaming a boat seems to be destroying any evidence of the boat's
previous name. In my case, that has been taken care of as far as I can
tell. So what do you all think? Rename the boat and give her a proper
christening party? Let her be as the "no name" boat on the Great Salt Lake?
