When the time comes I'll put what ever fucking number I want on my sail. You folks can not agree on shit. So don't try telling me how it is. You say 1786 is too high as well. How the fuck are you?
I'm not sure anyone is telling you anything about what you do on your boat. Many people sail with second hand sails and do not bother to change the sail number on them - and nobody cares. The only time a sail number matters to other people is when boats join a race. Even for many informal races, the organizers might not care as long as there are no two boats with the same number on the lake.
Many owners are curious what the correct original sail number is for an older boat, because it can be non-obvious given the circumstances and any contributions here were given in that spirit.
