    1. Did Achilles 7ms have MIC numbers ?

    2. I don’t believe so, all Achilles pre-date the RCD and similar.

  3. Thanks for the reply on the MIC/RCD number. I had Achilles 7m 004 as my teaching boat with my sailing school in Nova Scotia. We brought it over from Wales in '94, and it was an excellent boat. My son has taken ownership and he is moving it to Santa Cruz California. He needs a number for U.S. Customs, so we are looking at a variety of options. Anyone interested in the 7m information I have is welcome to contact me at sailmahonebay@auracom.com. Thanks, Mike Ernst
