Very often organisers of national regatta’s will have no objection against participants sailing with a sail number is issued in another country than the flag state were the yacht is registered.

However, the national origin of the flag and sail number not corresponding could possible raise some eyebrows when competing in international regatta’s. Secondly you might ask yourself is it visually appealing when the national origin of the sail number of your yacht does not match that of the flag? Probably not, and especially not because the costs of getting a sail number are far less of an investment than buying the latest Helly Hansen sailing gear!
