Sail Number of the Day

   As the advent calendar was so popular, why don't we have a sail number of the day thread starting with 1 on Jan 1st, up to 365/366 on the 31st Dec?

I suggest a few tighter rules to make it more interesting and get more variety in

How about

Rules

=====

1 photo per person per day

Exact Sail number only

no-one to post first more than three days running (rule expires at midday gmt if no pics have appeared)

Guidelines

==========

captions and credits

no repeat photos

ideally photos are cropped to relevant boat

photos are kept modest in size

as much variety as possible.

	Good idea and I'll find some more but I have to post before 6:30am as I can't post from work pc due to security and firewall restrictions, can't put photos on work pc and can't take own laptop or tablet in to work. Edited by patj - 29 Dec 13 at 8:49am

	Excellent idea. This link showing date and day number might be useful... And it might be a challenge not to repeat any of the first 25 from the Advent Thread!

	Kate, the Number 1 Merlin Rocket built by Jack Holt in 1946 and still sailing plus in the best tradition of the BOG OFF, you also get 1066 which could start a new thread on significant dates eg Agincourt and Waterloo.
	Merlin Rocket 3609

	This is a fake Irish Firefly (the TR3.6) and as such may actually be No2, rather than just a team racing 2, as not many can have been built, rip-off that it is. Photo fro sailingscuttlebutt.
