Steve,
 
Thanks for your input.  You are clearly correct.  One of the  mistakes I made 
was to believe that the sails were completely opaque in the  non window areas 
and that overlapping the numbers on opposite sides would not  make any 
difference.  When the sun shines, that is not the case and it does  make a big 
difference.
 
Best regards,
 
Bram
 
PS Greg's idea of having identifying graphics on every main deserves a  lot 
of consideration.  When you watch the 18's sail, there is no mention of  sail 
numbers at all.  They are identified by name.  Hopefully we can  get someone 
with the ability to do high quality graphic appliques at a  reasonable cost for 
the class.
