Hey Rande,<br>
If it is a new hull then I think the hull number is part of the
nautical equivalent of a VIN stamped in raised lettering somewhere
on or near the stern.<br>
If Michael Andrews doesn't know where that is, I bet Tom Schock
does!<br>
<br>
Michael and Tom, can you point Rande in the right direction?<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi sailors,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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? </div>
