Sail Tags

Owners

From this page you may declare sails you own as Retired, Destroyed, or indicate a sail Transferred to another owner. When a sail is transferred it is included on the sail tag list with the new owner’s name. The original owner’s name will be automatically added to the Sail Registration Tag notes section. Transferred sails will be annotated on the Sail Tag Registration List as a new sail (less than 18 months old), or an old sail (more than 18 months old). Transferred sails classified as new will count toward the number of sails purchased in a calendar year per J/109 Class Rules section 5.7. Sails that are Retired or Destroyed will not show on the Sail Tag Registration List unless an option is checked to display these sails too.
  • Transfer, Retire, or Report Destroyed Sail – Click here to perform the desired action. The action is performed using drop down options. The only information typed is the person’s name reporting the action. The system automatically notifies the J/109 Class officers responsible for reviewing the data. When the submission is approved, the sail will be updated on the Sail Tag Registration List with the sailmaker and owner notified via email. The updated certificate may be printed from the link included on the Sail Tag Registration List.
  • Declare Sails for One Design events – Click here to declare sails. Owners may declare sails that will be used for a specific one design event when required by the Notice of Race. The online system makes this easy by limiting the choices to only those sails that have been registered to your boat. Should a declaration need to be revised, it is simple to pull up the previous declaration, make any necessary changes and resubmit. You will receive an email showing the declared sails. The class measurer is automatically notified when the declarations are submitted.
