Bow Numbers

Measurement for the mast Bow Numbers

VX One USA is adopting bow numbers to help race committees identify boats and record results more accurately. This is due to the growing fleet and difficulty identifying boats on a down wind finish.

Currently optional in the class rules, bow numbers are highly encouraged.

The following is guidance on the installation of bow numbers.
