    Hello Sailors,

    I’m a new forumer. I’m a French sailor, professional skipper and actually moored in Dunkirk.

    A friend of mine is about to buy an Omega 34 here. The vessel belongs to an English Owner and my friend is from Belgium.

    To register the boat in Belgium (which is pretty cooler than France regarding to autorities ) my friend needs to produce a proof that the boat was registered or placed on the market as a recreational boat in the European Economic Area before 16 June 1998. I fact, she needs a sort of delivery certificate with the specs of the boat and year of built.

    But as the manufacturer has bankrupt many years ago, we do not know how to preceed to get these official documents.

    Does anybody know a contact from an Omega 34 club? Or somebody involved in tn this model?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Eric

    Bonjour-

    The listing here on Sailboatdata shows that Omega 34’s were first built in 1981 so that there should be a HIN number built into the boat. The Sailboatdata listing may have other useful specifications for you as well.  The HIN number is probably on the transom, upper starboard side. It will show the date of manufacture.  Is the boat currently flagged in the UK or somewhere else? If the English owner registered it elsewhere, that might provide the information you need.  If the boat was initially sold to the UK and it stayed registered there, Brexit gets involved and the paper chase gets worse. Bonne chance!
