Boat Sail Numbers & Year of Registration
The issue of sail numbers has not always been strictly sequential, but the following can be used as a general guideline:
1998 2000 - 2152
1999 2153 - 2364
2000 2365 - 2546
2001 2547 - 2786
2002 2787 - 2999 then 21000 - 21060
2003 21061 - 21276
2004 21277 - 21515
2005 21516 - 21733
2006 21734 - 21951
2007 21952 - 22098
2008 22099 - 22235
2009 22236 - 22274
2010 22275 - 22310
2011 22311 - 22343
2012 22344 - 22370 (approx)
2013 22501 - 22517
2014 22518 -
Consider though - a boat registered late in the year will possibly not be sailed until the following season, so a boat registered late 2001 may not have been first sailed until 2002. The condition of the hull, fittings, rigging, foils and sails will also be an indication of the boats use or how well it has been maintained and cared for.
Note: From 1998 to 2012 the boat was known as the ‘Laser 2000’ and the licensed builder was Performance Sailcraft Europe, subsequently trading as LaserPerformance Europe. From 2013 onwards the licensed builder is LDC Sailing and new boats will be marketed as the ‘2000’.
