Sail Numbers
On this page I hope shortly to provide a comprehensive list of sail numbers as
they were allocated to the full size boats. Perhaps model radio yacht sailors
may find an affinity with one or more of the numbers for use on their own models.
But who can forget sail number KA-6, worn
by the victorious Australia II in 1983.
Other Australian Numbers:

KA 2 Dame Pattie - 1967
KA 3 Gretel II - 1970
