I have a Mirage 28 and need to establish her build date. I thought if I had her hull number (which I can't find), I could find the number on a registry of some kind........

Many thanks for your reply.....this clarifies things for me....a bit!You may be best to post this under PBO
Ok....many thanks for thisMost unlikely there was any identification on the boat originally as there was no requirement to have one. Builders used a range of ways of numbering boats including sail numbers, yard numbers and hull numbers, but rarely put any of these on the boat itself apart maybe from a pencilled marks on components such as locker lids. Standardised hull numbers only came in in 1997. There is no compulsory register of yachts in the UK either. Your best bet is to contact the owners association snapdragonmirage.org.uk who may well have some of the original yard records or at least be able to give you an idea of when your boat was built.
