TOPIC:

Hi All wonder if someone can help, I have just acquired a Holt Alb with no sail number and no measurement cert, it was I think built between 7991 and 8000. Boat is almost as new and just needed fitting out, called Lateron and sailed at Chichester, what do I do to get a sail number and certificate, presumably needs measuring. Nearest Measurer to St Albans ?
Help please otherwise I shall have to race un measured and retire.

Hi Graham
Is David Chivers at Brighlingsea an Albacore measurer? Mike Mac will know
Best wishes

Is that the boat that was on eBay (I had a couple of bids on that).
It seems that all the sail numbers from the first Holt (7986) all the way to Speed 8000 are accounted for, so chances are the boat has never been issued with a number

Numbers 8081 and 8082 were never issued, so that may be a more appropriate number than an 82XX number if you are going tomeasure and register it now.

David Measured 8126 ("...the Pies") for me at Brightlingsea.

Thanks for your advice guys do I go to the RYA first or the measures ?

I would ring the RYA Technical department first. Ask them what the process should be, before shelling out on measurement.

John,

To add some detail to your list, 7986 (Nick Hoskins) and 7993 (John Howard) are both at Tewkesbury.
