International Sail Number Application
How to register and display your NALSA sail number
Application Requirements
To apply for a US sail number, you'll need to provide:
- Your full name and contact information (address, phone, email)
- Boat class number/name
- Requested sail number choices (if you have a preference)
- If claiming an existing number: Release form from the previous owner with their signature
Note: Consecutive, small numbers, as possible, will be issued if no specific number is requested. Many numbers are already registered.
Where to Submit
Mail your completed form to:
NALSA – c/o Mark Harris
3422 Yorkshire Dr SE
Olympia, WA 98513
Phone: (775) 722-7035
Email: landsail@yahoo.com
Sail numbers are assigned to a person, not a boat.
If you buy a landsailer, the number on the sail does not automatically become yours. The owner should sign the release form and mail it to NALSA or give it to the new owner to mail.
NALSA has sail numbers, U.S. and Numbers for sale. These are black, laser-cut, 10 inch size, with rounded corners. Beautiful works of art and readable by the race committee.
These letters and numbers will definitely allow you to sail faster and make you proud. Allegedly, you will be in the winner's circle frequently if you have these figures on your sails. So, order up an ample supply to satisfy your appetite for that beautiful fresh and fast appearance. Old worn out sail numbers will only slow you down.
$4.00 each + $4.00 shipping per order

From the NALSA Rules:
- Numbers should be 10 inch minimum
- Bold, San Serif font (Helvetica Bold for example)
- In a color that contrasts strongly with the sail color
Placement Instructions:
- •Place letters and numbers on the top 1/3 of the sail. Race committee members will be looking for them there.
- •Place the starboard (right side) letters and numbers above the port (left side).
- •US (or other country code) above the sail number is preferred for legibility reasons.
⚠️ NEVER DO THIS!
NEVER, NEVER PLACE BOTH SIDES BACK TO BACK ON PLASTIC or FABRIC SAILS. Light conditions and dust will make reading your number impossible. The exception is a solid wing, here you can place them on opposite sides of the sail at the same level if desired as they cannot be seen through the wing.
Note: US (or other country code) above the sail number is preferred for legibility reasons.
