SuggestionsMore Products » How to Identify Your BoatSince November 1, 1972, federal law requires all boats, including inflatables like rafts, IKs and SUP boards, manufactured in, or imported into, the US to have a unique 12-character identifier called the Hull Identification Number (HIN). This is often referred to as the “boat serial number” or “boat ID number”. The number is usually found in the stern and can be engraved on a plate or stamped into the boat material. For boats built or imported after August 1, 1984The system for building the HIN changed after this date. Since most of you will be checking on boats after this date, we’ll cover this first. Example: ABC12345J314
Manufacturer Identification Code (MIC)Entering the MIC into this US Coast Guard database will get you the manufacturer and their location. Hull Serial NumberThese five characters are assigned by the manufacturer. They are normally numbers, but letters (except I, O and Q) may also be used. Date of ManufactureThe letter is for the month of manufacture: The number is the last digit of the year of manufacture. Since there’s only one digit, it must be interpreted by the Model Year. In our example, J3 designates that the boat was built in October 2013. In our example, the year is 2014. Note: Cataraft tubes are not considered to be a boat, until they are married with a frame. An abbreviated HIN of 4-5 numbers, followed by a letter denoting month of manufacture, and three numbers representing the year of manufacture and model year, as described above, may be attached to the tubes. Example: 1234(5)E516, would have been made in May 2015. For boats built between November 1, 1972 and July 31, 1984Note: This was the first attempt to create the HIN… and parts of it are a bit confusing. Manufacturer Identification Code (MIC) and Hull Serial Number are the same as described above. Here’s where it gets confusing. Manufacturers were given the option of giving either the date of manufacture, or the model year. HIN with Date of ManufactureExample: ABC123451076 (October 1976) The 9th and 10th characters are the month, and the 11th and 12th characters are the last digits of the year. HIN with Model YearExample: ABC12345M72D (November 1972) The 9th character “M” stands for model year. The 10th and 11th are the last two digits of the model year. The 12th is the letter designating the month of manufacture. Now, here’s where the government got cute: Stay up to date on new arrivals, email exclusives, sales and more.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. Classic hull speed formula: Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement RatioA measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more. SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
Ballast / Displacement RatioA measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Ballast / Displacement * 100 Displacement / Length RatioA measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
Comfort RatioThis ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
Capsize Screening FormulaThis formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Please enjoy this partial list of boats, manufacturers, and year the number was sold. The records in this format do not go back any further. Sandy Douglass built the first Thistle in 1945. Many of the early wooden boats are kit boats so keep in mind that the year the number was issued and the date the boat was built are not necessarily the same.
The Thistle is a recreational sailboat, with the earlier production models made from molded plywood and the more recent models built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood structural members and trim. The seats are a fiberglass-sandwich construction, and provide built-in flotation. It has a fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars and three ...

A new Thistle runs around $25,000 for the hull, spars, blades and rigging. For a very competitive used boat, expect to spend between $10,000 and $15,000.

Currently, no wooden Thistle with a higher registration number exists. After removing enough of the finish to determine the outer veneer had been sanded through in several places, Fritz removed the outer 1/16" with a router and rasp, replaced it with sapele and finished the boat in Vermont over a two-year period, completing the process in 1978.
Thistles sail as a Corinthian class, which means you won't be sailing against boats with paid crew members (or a paid driver). The Thistle Class is a community of people who love the Thistle and get a thrill out of sailing it with our friends - new and old. The Thistle Class has been around since 1945 and is still growing and active; you ...
Use a steel tape measure held parallel to the lines of the hull. Measure from the stem to a straight edge held against the transom and projecting above it. The "lines" of the hull are level when the boat has the bottom of its transom 9 inches above the very bottom of the hull at station 6 as shown on the measurement certificate.

The Thistle is a 17.0ft fractional sloop designed by Sandy Douglass and built in fiberglass by Clark Boat Company since 1945. 4000 units have been built. The Thistle is an ultralight sailboat which is a very high performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing boat.
Old and new boats are evenly matched, with the owner of Thistle number 1 winning the national championship in 1990. Thistle hulls are relatively light for their size, doing away with decking and spray protection to save weight. The sail plan is larger for the boat's weight than in many other dinghies, making Thistles good light wind performers.
Add the price of a new mast ($1,000) into the boat's price if the boat comes with a gold or wooden mast. The old gold masts are much too stiff for competitive racing. Note the black mast on 3905 and 3719 and the silver mast on 4032. 4. Presence of cracks and creases in the hull.
