Guy Wilkins built a replacement hull using the Goodwin jig. To obtain a new kit with an old sail number, the transom doubler of the old hull (which has the sail number engraved on it) has to be returned to the kit manufacturer. The new transom doubler, supplied as part of the kit, bears the old sail number followed by an 'X'.
