IOM Sail Numbers

CAUTION: When looking for sail numbers, DO NOT BUY VINYL NUMBERS!
Vinyl number will shrink and fade over time when exposed to the sun, wrinkling your sails over time.

These numbers are Insignia cloth number, what the big boats use. Unlike vinyl number that are stiff and can shrink, insignia cloth is a very soft, flexible number material that does not shrink or fade in the sun over time.

Price below is numbers for both sides of the sail plus $1.00 Shipping. To order more than 1 set, change the Qty after you add to cart.
