| Other comments | There are two potential confusions to be careful about with respect to this boat. Note that one photo has the 129 sail number and another 153. The sail number is likely explained because some owners sold sails to each other at various times. It looks to me like Marius sold his used #129 “StradiMarius” sails to “Chaos !” at some point. They have since sewn new 153 numbers on the sails. However I also think that Chaos ! is #158, not #153. That is because of the dates of the reported HIN, taken from the stern, are ZCJ 00153 0184 which means that reported hull #153 would have been made in 01-1984. Since “Brillo del Sol” was ZCJ 00154 1183, and similar 1983 datestamps are available for #150-#155 the 1983 nature of the #150-#155 run is not in doubt. The most likely explanation is that the HIN is being mis-read as ‘3’ due to damage and it is in fact ‘8’. There are other such instances. Either that or someone in the Corbin yard got their admin all messed up, which was unusual and by late 1983 they seemingly had that sort of thing back under control. However until we see a good quality HIN photo we cannot be sure if the 3=8 is the correct understanding of what has happened. |
