The original 404s were about 1970/71 and became glass Ents c. 12500

Another vote for 1975. (For the sail number anyway..)
If I can remember correctly I'm pretty sure a couple of guys at my club when I joined in 1975 had just built new Ents, and the sail numbers were 182xx. |

If you can how about posting a couple of pics of the interior, if not, are there buoyancy tanks or bags, bow tank, transom flaps etc. That should get you a bit closer if you can't find a proper sail number.

What year was first plastic boat made, can't be earlier.
E1 and E2, were the first and second Enterprises built and were the two boats that sailed across the channel in the dead of night.

Reasonably sure that number is 1975. Worth checking at the class assoc though. Of course if that number is on the sail it probably does not relate to the hull.

If that certificate belongs to the boat....... But it's definitely worth contacting them, when I had an Ent they were extremely helpful.

If you contact the Enterprise Association, they might be able to tell from the certificate number.

The Mk2 plastic boats, which had wooden thwarts and wooden deck knees, had the sail number carved in the rear thwart. I'm pretty certain the Holt / Speed FRP boats were the same. Can't recall where they were in the Mk1 plastic boats and left the class before the new fangled Rondar Mk 3s (and dangly poles for that matter) came into existence.

The "C" number is the measurement certificate number, boat can't be E4, all early boats were wood,
Hull number is burnt into thwart.
