• The four digit number on this sticker is your sail number and is required if you wish to race under the International Moth Class Associaton (IMCA) rules.
• Purchase and stick on the sail numbers and country letters as per the IMCA rules if you have not already done so.
• Contact your National Moth Class Measurer (or an independent measurer) to measure your boat and sail using the IMCA Measurement Form as supplied by IMCA.
• Submit the original IMCA Measurement form back to your National Sailing Federation, who will then issue you with a measurement certificate.
