7.8 BOAT NUMBERING SYSTEM
7.8.1 Racing numbers and backgrounds will be color-coordinated according to rider classification. Class
Number ........... Background
Novice ...................... Black ................... Orange (PMS 021)
Expert ....................... Black .................. Yellow (PMS Process Yellow)
Pro Black ............... White 17.11.2
Racing number backgrounds must be clearly located on the hull in the positions indicated (see the
Appendix) for each model. Be careful not to place them in a location that will obscure them from the
scorers (i.e., they should not be placed in the footwell or on horizontal surfaces). Only numbers can
appear on the background.
7.8.2 Race number backgrounds size minimums are as follows:
Racing No. Background Size
One digit ............... 20cm (8 in.) high by 15cm (6 in.) wide
Two digits .............. 20cm (8 in.) high by 23cm (9 in.) wide
Three digits ............ 20cm (8 in.) high by 30cm (12 in.) wide
7.8.3 Racing numbers must be a minimum of 18cm (7 in.) high and spaced at least 13mm (0.50 in.) apart.
Standard block-type numbers without shading or outlining must be used. It is the rider’s responsibility to
ensure that the numbers are easy to read.
7.8.4 If two or more riders using the same number enter the same class at the same event, all but one
will be required to add a temporary letter suffix (e.g., “101A,” “101H,” etc.).
7.8.5 All riders competing outside their home country must display the national code for their home
country in front of their racing number (e.g., “F1” for France, no. 1). Letters must be a minimum of
15.25cm (6 in.) in height and must be the same color as the racing numbers. (Refer to Section 23.1, page
99, for listing of IJSBA Affiliate National Codes.)
7.8.6 At world championship events, Expert and Pro racers who earn an overall World Championship
title may run the “1” plate for the following year in the class in which it was earned (e.g., an Expert Ski
Limited Closed-Course World Champion may run a “1” in that closed-course class only). The World
Championship number “1” must be displayed on the boat with a white number on a black background
with minimum sizes as noted. No other world championship number may be used.
