Sorry to ask another 200 based question, but does anyhone know from what sail number the Brazilian boats started coming through? I'm looking at a few 200's and dont want to get stuck with one.

1236 to 1238 were built in Brazil for sure.

Normally you can tell by looking inside the hatches, iirc, if the epoxy is
yellow its brazilian, and paler its british, dont know if that was true or a
myth tho!
