The sail numbers don't fit in the panel of my new 6.6 because of the brand logo,
Can the AUS go above the numbers? Or can the font be reduced slightly so it fits.
Pretty sure the font size I have now is min as per the doco on the AWA site.

It's a funny one Stanley, we set a guide based upon the ISAF rules www.internationalwindsurfing.com/files/usercontent/pages/Sailnumbers_for_windsurfing_racing_classes2.pdf but when you look at the PWA sail numbers they are all over the shop.

I would say that your trouble comes about because you are trying to put the number on what would be considered a fairly small sail for a race sail. I would probably go with the AUS above the Number or try putting the number on a larger panel lower on the sail. For local events you just need to be easily recognisable against your peers at a distance.

You could also just use the number part without the AUS for club racing.
Since everyone has AUS the prefix doesn't help much for identification.
Even at our Raceboard nationals they were happy as long as you had a unique number.
