Hello Daniel,
I've checked it and found

FR-FPA170051607

Which digits describes the hull number?

Martin

[Edmund]

Hi Martin

The HIN number is to be understood as follows (someone please correct me if I'm wrong):

FR: France
FPA: Fountain Pajot
17: Mahe
005: hull number
1: month built
6: year built
07: model year

So your hull is built in january 2006 (as a 2007 model), hull number is 005.

Martin,

Here is how to read your FP Mahe 36 hull #

Hull # FR-FPA170051607
You are Hull # 005
Year built is 2007

Edmund,

Very good Hull # description. My hull # has C9 09 at the end.
Year built 2009
Model year 2009

What would the C stand for ?

It's my understanding that the month the boat was built is described as a letter, with "A" for January, etc.. So Mark, the letter "C" in your hull ID number would indicate your boat was built in March. In Martin's ID number, the "1" is probably an "I", meaning his boat was built in September.

Thanks to all. Great response. After checking by Flag certificate. It seems to be an I and not an 1.

I = Septemper

Hi Edmund,
We've just become the proud owners of #24. We could only purchase with the aid of an inheritence and so we've called her "Legacy".
Happy Sailing to all.

Congrats, Brian and Patty
Tell us more. Where is your home sailing grounds? What are your plans?

You need to remove Kev and jo from the list. They have sold Invincible. I don't know who purchased her.

Hi Scott,

Legacy will spend most of her time around Lake Macquarie, between Sydney and Newcastle (Australia). When we retire (in a million more years!! ) we'll take her further afield.

Thanks for including us on the updated the owners list Edmund.

Regards to all,

I think Hull 92 has been sold here in Sydney. Maybe John will look in and confirm.
