Anyone know this boat? Is there a website/register of sail numbers?

Sail No 3048. Classic Yawl circa 38' - 40' perhaps.
She sailed into Gruinard bay (in front of my house) in 2004.
I can't see by enlarging my image if she has the Fife Dragon on her bow.

I thought she belongs to someone named Scobie, from these parts, but I think his is a sloop, of similar design.

Is there a register of sail numbers, with other details of boats and/or owners?

Many thanks

PS. Quirkily, the image number from my camera/download is 3048 - same as the sail number!!

Could be a Kim Holman Rummer Class

You could try googling racing results in the area?

The RYA is the issuer of most sail numbers, unless it's a manufacturer's class number.

Around here, we have the Solent Year Book, which lists a lot of classes with numbers and owners.

Not on the West Coast of Scotland it isn't, or wasn't.

You're right.
Didn't the McRoyal clubs issue K numbers with a letter suffix?
No suffix = RYA or RORC? or did RORC have R as a suffix?

BTW, last time I used this method to track down a boat, I found it had secondhand sails on it...

What a horrible view Robert has from his house. No sunshine, no blue sky - just a bit of boring old sand and a boat. Now we know why the Solent is so popular. :p

Aye, not good at all. Mind you, the photo was taken at 01:45, looking eastwards - on June 21st ;)
To be honest I was rather p****d off at the boat spoiling the tranquility.

Here's the same view without the boat, and later in the day!

Robert, Robert. Will ye never learn, man? Your picture makes the place look so nice and tranquil that you run the risk of the bay being filled with yachts, mobos and jetskis next year. Sheesh!
