In addition, the "model year" starts with boats intended for sale after August or September - like a car. So the boat was "laid down" in October of 1987 (whatever that really means - what constitutes start of production can vary by manufacturer, I understand) and intended for sale after August of 1988 (making it a 1989 "model").
Al, do you have any paperwork to show when the boat was delivered to the first owner?

Could it be that production starts ended in 1987, even though boats were completed later and therefore had later "model years"? -----Original Message----- From: Allan Hester via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2019 10:13 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Allan Hester Subject: Stus-List Build date Listers, I own a 1989 C&C 35 Mk3, hull number 264. The registration says 1989 and the HIN on the stern reads Z C C 3 5 2 6 4 J 7 8 9. However, online reviews and sailboatdata all indicate the 35 was only built until 1987. Is anyone able to clear up this discrepancy? Is anyone able to interpret the meaning of the entire HIN? I think 3 5 2 6 4 are pretty clear. These numbers indicate 35 feet in length and hull number, 264. Thank you. AL H.
