O.N.123456 - what is this?

[dalex]

Hello folks,
There's a wooden plaque glued to one side of my helm position with a 6 digit number carved into it of the above format. Is this the part 1 registry number? If so, how do I go about tracing this?
Many thanks

Probably the hull number , works the same way as the VIN on your car


amend that slightly , is it all numbers , or letters too ?

It is as above, "O.N.123456"

I don't think it's the hull number as that is stamped into the transom and different to this and starts HINxxxxx.

Sorry , didn't realise that was the actual number , that looks like some kind of operator number but the sequence seems unlikely

 

[dalex]

ok well, it's not the actual number.... but mine is a 6 digit number of the 710000 range

Ah . Right , you may get fuller answers from these guys but you'll need to give as much detail as possible in your post or they tend to get snappy .

If you were in an ex Lifeboat it would be the Operational Number but I can remember which RNLI boats Sealine made /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

HIN is Hull Identification Number and usually has year or model year of manufacture at the end eg ABS- 12345-07

This is your Pt 1 number .

Shows I'm tired , hadn't realised it was a Sealine , I thought it was a nice wooden boat /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Col,
I thought so too..
Any idea how I go about tracing the roots on this?
I have registered on the SSR but quoting this number to them at the time elicited no response, and they gave me an SSR number no question.

Trev,
Yep, it's a tupperware tea-tray, not wooden, sorry! One day tho....

Do you ever think of backing off when you don't actually know?
Last time I looked you were offering advice on computers as well.

 

[Sixpence]

Apologies for the confusion , I've got wooden boats coming out of the ears at the moment so a little tunnel visioned . I presume you've tried here

and on that , I'll bow out , only trying to help but it seems others don't like to see anybody trying to do that these days

Keep it coming! The more input the better IMHO!

Part 1 Ships Register Number

 

[volvopaul]

Its your part one registered number, with the registered tonnage of the vessel, its not the actual weight so dont be alarmed , its the tonnage in volume set with calculations from either the builder or if registered for a mortgage etc by a surveyor.

 

[mjf]

Agree with others its your part 1 british reg.

But, if its by the helm its secured in the wrong place.

When first registered you must confirm to Swansea that the registered unique name and registered port are maked on the stern and the tonnage plaque is perm. attached to the main beam or similar. This in small craft is usually the aft E/R bulkhead.

Yes definately your Pt 1 registered number (not SSR) and mine is in the cockpit area too as there is no where else to put it ... the ships registry send this plaque to you when you register your boat and say that it shold be secured so that it cannot be removed - if using screws then they should be filed flat etc ..... as already stated it also shows registered tonnage (volume) ... I can get telephone numbers for you if you like PM me and Ill send you them after I get home ....

I thought they just sent you a "carving note", and not the actual thing to be attached. I had the yard make up mine and then they epoxied it and screwed it to a beam in the boat, then ground down the screws just to be sure.

Wrong - they send a carving note. The owner commissions the plaque using the carving note data.

 

[longjohnsilver]

It's not SSR but Part 1 registry, different thing entirely.
