Allocation Sail Numbers
Optimist
To register an Optimist, send your blue and white measurement booklet (which should have come with the boat) to the ISA offices, together with the fee, and ensuring that you have completed the middle section by entering your child’s name and address. We will complete the registration for you and send your booklet back to you by return of post. Optimists must be registered in order to race in any event, so please ensure you register the boat in good time. Please note: This cannot be done online.
Mirror
To register a Mirror dinghy, forward the Mirror measurement certificate, the fee and any documentation pertaining to the boat to the office, e.g. re-weighing information, sail change information, and we will complete the registration for you and send back copies of your documentation. We hold the originals in the office, where they will be available if they are needed for any reason. Please note: This cannot be done online.
All other classes/types of boat
All other classes, e.g. J24, Europe, Flying Fifteen, Dragon, and so on may be registered with the ISA by forwarding any documentation pertaining to the boat, e.g. the original measurement cert, to the office together with the fee. We will allocate you a sail number and register you on our records. Copies of your documentation will be sent back to you by return of post, and the originals will be kept on file in the office. Please note: These cannot be done online.
