Sail Numbers
Identification marks on sails for IRSA (including the IOM) and MYA classes have sizes and positions defined in the class rules. Download the relevant documents below to get the right size and placement on your sails.
Note – The Identification Marks rules in Appendix E of the RRS are replaced by these documents.
Personal Sail Numbers
The MYA operates a scheme allowing MYA Members to select a Personal Sail Number (where available and ranging from 00 to 99) which can be used across all IRSA and MYA class boats they sail. This service is available for a nominal fee and is limited to 100 numbers per District to prevent duplication. It’s important to note that a Personal Sail Number does not grant any advantages to the member during event registration or when entering Ranking or National Championships. The standard procedure of first-come, first-served applies in those cases.
The fee for a personal sail number is £20 for 5 years. To ask which numbers are available in your district please contact the Personal Sail Number Registrar. Contact details are in the Members Area or our officer contact page here
Members with PSN moving to a new District
Should a holder of a PSN transfer membership to a club in another MYA District:
a. they may retain the same PSN if it is not currently taken in that District, after consultation with the Personal Sail number registrar.
b. they shall be responsible for acquiring a new PSN in that District, or
c. they shall be responsible for changing sail number(s) to the last two digits of the hull registration number(s).
Treatment of historic issue
A PSN was transferred from one district to a another resulting in a duplicate PSN. On expiry of the transferred PSN, the owner will follow the rules in a, b, c above.
