What do you think? Should the Marine Patrol issue a retroactive "no sticker" violation based on the evidence in the LDS newspaper photo or what ...... ha-ha-ha? .....
Definitely not a Sunfish, maybe Laser. This boat maybe requires a sticker, but definitely not a bow number. So funny that those are reversed here

But stepping back, it's laughable that this made news--it's a tiny little nothing of a sailboat (no disrespect to Lasers or Sunfish), likely piloted by a kid learning how to sail, just hoping he doesn't flip it more than once. It could hit a fire boat head on without it bothering anyone
