Digital sail numbers, sometimes known as Digital 8 sail numbers are a new style of sail number which make your sail look modern and are also easier to work with.
Here at Sailing Chandlery we sell Digital 8 sail numbers in two different sizes and colours. We stock 300mm (12 inch) high numbers and also 230mm (9 inch) high numbers. All numbers are cut from self adhesive cloth so you can peel the back off and stick the numbers directly onto your sail.
To give you an idea, a standard or radial Laser sail will use 300mm numbers where as the smaller 4.7 sail uses 230mm numbers.
The advantage of using digital 8's is that the number 8 can be cut into any number you need by removing certain areas of the number. For example, cut out the bottom left hand corner and you have a 9. Leave across the top and down the right hand side and you have a number 7.
Here are a few graphics which show you how to cut the various numbers. Simply cut away the parts marked in red and that will leave you with the correct number to apply.
As you can see from above, cutting the areas away is simple and leaves you with the number you need to space out according to your class rules.
You can purchase digital sail numbers from us using the following links:

Just the job for mooring warps for my motor canoe. Pleasant to handle and plenty of elasticity. Delivery prompt. Very happy.
Very pleased - strong rowlock at a reasonable price. Prompt delivery.
Quality product. I have used these before, but have learned only recently that replacement O-rings are available. Definitely a bonus!
Delivery was prompt and the goods were well packaged. Very pleased.
Perfect shape for a complicated job and delivery and communications were excellent
The 750ml size is idea for longer outings, particularly in the warmer months. A good quality bottle.
Sturdy well-shaped brim, good stitching. All in all, very good value.
A very robust design with an easy to use valve and attachment ring. It also has a loop to tuck the valve away to stop it snagging on the shroud as it's hoisted which is a nice addition. Overall an excellent float.
Good price, delivered on time.
Great to deal with no problems .
Done quickly
It's sturdy, it's not going to fail like a block. Great for trapeze blocks
As requested and fast delivery
These are the only covers that will stand the high temperatures, humidity and pollution from the near by power station. We are based in Larnaca Cyprus with very long summers. I will highly recommend them. Plus Sailing Chandlery staff are brilliant.
Bought for my son. He was delighted with it!
I did wonder how I would change the battery on my timer and this kit s the answer !. I race land yachts and do a two minute rolling start which can be rather mad it times so i need that battery !
