Looking through our retail shop or online, a variety of numbers adorn our Sea Bags totes; we are often asked, why a 5 or why a 3?
According to the US Sailing website, offshore racing yachts are required to carry US Sailing numbers on mainsails, spinnakers and each overlapping headsail. These numbers are assigned based geographic area. Each number assigned is unique to the racing vessel, which is why our bags are so special. No two sails are going to be the same. The numbers assigned to the Northeast are in the range of 3000-3499 and some from 3500 to 3999. That’s why 3’s are going to be more popular with sails coming from the Northeast. As we branch out and collect more sails from around the world, we’ll see more numbers and of course, more designs.
So, what makes the #3 so special, other than being assigned to the Northeast? There are three (3) more days to bid in our new auction. Our first bag is from an Aqua Cat 12.5 Catamaran. Visit our auction and while you are there check out our new website.
