Paul is correct, HIN numbers have specific formats. In 1982 there were two options. In both options, the first three letters, assigned by the US Coast Guard, identified the builder. VYN was assigned to Ria Yachts DBA Victoria Yachts. The next five numbers were the serial number which was at the discretion of the builder. It may or may not include the hull number although most do. In your case it’s pretty likely the 18 was for the model. It is unlikely the 104 is the hull number. That seems too low. 1045 seem too high and doesn’t fit with the format required in 1982.
The last four digits after the serial number were for the date of certification. Keep in mind, model years start in August of the previous year so, for a model year 82, the format could be either 4 numbers (ex. 0981 for September; or 0482 for April). Or the second option would be M82 (model year 1982) followed by a letter from A-L representing the month built (A=August 1981, B=September 1981… F=January 1982 etc.).
The HIN you are seeing doesn’t completely match either of these formats. Are you 100% on the number? Either way, it doesn’t appear the HIN helps ID the hull number.
Sorry this doesn’t help answer your question.
Sorry for the delayed response. We typically don’t make access to our database available to third parties. While your intensions might be honorable, there are too many unscrupulous people out there. Some with sites they started by taking our database without authorization. We are also hesitant to send out large portions of our database as once we do, we lose control over how it’s used.
One of our red flags is a request that includes boats with a large range. This makes us believe there is commercial intent. Your request, for example, includes boats with an LOA of 33′ up to 80+’. We tend to question why such a range? It doesn’t seem realistic for someone to be in the market for a 33 footer and/or even a 50 footer, let alone an 80 footer.
When we do work with third parties to send all, or a large portion of our database, we require a User Agreement to be in place. This agreement will outline very specifically how the database can be used.
We also, typically, ask for a fair market price. Keep in mind, we have been working on our database for the past 20 years. Building it by hand, one boat at a time. If you are asking for commercial purposes, we think purchasing the data is a reasonable request.
We are happy to discuss this further if you want. If so, please email us at contact@sailboatdata.com
Thanks, we hope you understand.
We’ve added the C46 (Bavaria) to our database. The Oceanis 46.1 (Beneteau) and the Hanse 460 are already there. You might already be doing this but you can use the compare feature to look at all three at the same time, if you want.
Hope this helps.
Not my area of expertise but you might have a clog (carbon build up?) in the exhaust system. I’ve seen diesel motors completely rejuvenated after an exhaust elbow replacement.
Hi Pewit35, we double checked and everything seems to be working. We changed your Topic title for this post a little so hopefully, when on the Weta page, it is not confusing.
The only time you should see the “You cannot add new topics” message in the forum is if you are not logged in. But you had to be logged on to post this topic.
All we can suggest at this point is to try posting again. From the Weta page, click on “New Topic +” and go from there.
Let us know if you are still having problems.
Hi Pierobon, Sorry we missed this Pending post. It’s up now. Thanks for letting us know about the Ixylon. We will add the boat to the database shortly.
No worries about using the 110 tag. We need to add a generic tag of some kind (or make it possible to post without a tag) for situations like this.Not that we are aware of. There is a thread on Sailnet with some fairly recent posts. You can find it here: https://www.sailnet.com/threads/wilderness-21.36773/
Hope this helps.Hello Pierobon, We’ve added the Varianta 18 to our database. Based on the information we found, we believe Dehler (owned by Hanse) is the builder.
You can find the record here: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/varianta-18/
Thanks for letting us know about this model.
BruceHi seahorse7, We are glad you like the site. We took a look. We went to refine search and entered Monohull, Variable keel, draft under 2′ and got 1,362 results. We then entered LOA 30′ – 35′ and the results narrowed to 46.
Everything seems to be working on our end. Maybe there was a one-time glitch? Are you still having trouble?
Measured hull speed in a displacement hull is a function of LWL. The difference in the reported LWL of the 34 and 320 is ~10″. Theoretically, both can achieve 7 kts. Actual hull speed depends on a number of factors. Our suggestion is to search Catalina 3 on our website then compare the two models. Doing that should help answer your questions.
Right now, as the Oceanis 37.1 is a new model schedule to launch this September, the specs reported by Beneteau are provisional. Once the first builds are finished, specs often get adjusted. That said, we’ll add the Oceanis 37.1 soon.
Thanks for letting us know about this new model.Hi Oscar,
I wish we could do something like that. Unfortunately, doing it opens the site up to bad people who want to do bad things.
As it is, scraping (unauthorized stealing of the database) is already a nuisance. It happens daily, slows our site speed down and can cost us in extra fees. But Worse, doing it would open ourselves up to malware attacks including ransomware.
Motivated bad people can still do these things. If they can hack the pentagon, they can certainly hack us. But we can’t, in good conscience, put out a welcome mat for them.
Sorry,
BruceHello. Thanks for reaching out and letting us know about our ballast reporting error for the Pearson 27 Triton. We’ve updated the record to the correct weight of 2024 lbs. We also updated the years in production to show the correct 1984-1985.
Kind regards,
BruceIf you are interested, there’s a nice history of the class which can be found on the Star Class Association website here: https://starclass.org/assets/documents/other_documents/Pictorial_History.pdf
