Hi everyone,

On the SSR application form they ask for the HIN. Is this the Vega
build No.? Or something different? Do Vegas even have a HIN and, if so,
where would it be found?

Thanks, and a good weekend to you all!

Dear Steve,

I have just bought Vagrant, sail number 1718 and have applied to join the UK association. I note that the HIN is 1617. Shouldn't the two numbers be the same?

Regards,

John Booth

Hi Chris

Just give them the Vega number, that will suffice.

Hi John

No the internal number is just a build number they used whilst in teh
factory. The important number is your Vega/Sail number. This can be found on
the bronze plate in the cockpit.

There is a rough guide of numbers, engines, year

Series I - Petrol Engine Albin 021/022 - V0001 to V1385 ish - 1967 to1971

Series II - Diesel Engine Volvo MD6A/B - V1386 to V3020 ish - 1972 to 1976

Series III - Diesel Engine Volvo MD7A - V3021 to V3450 ish - 1977 to 1979

This is an approximation so dont hold me to exact numbers.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
