Hi all,

Irie is in need of one minor fix that has been on our list for a while,
namely re-engraving the HIN on the transom. I have no worries about the
accuracy of the HIN on our registration docs, it matches the hull number on
the plate below the backstay, but the etched number got covered over in the
course of gelcoat repair by the PO & it bugs me.

I have heard that on most production boats there is a second HIN engraved
someplace that is harder for a would-be thief to find & remove. Does anybody
know where it is on our boats?

Cheers,

Peggy
