The Unique Sailnumber checker program is a Windows program that identifies the number of last digits that are needed to have an unique sailnumber list. The communication with the program is via the windows clipboard. Sailwave has a few built in features that facilitate the population of the clipboard, but you could also use other programs like Excel.

The clipboard can contain any character, but only numeric and letters (when the option is selected) are used.

Options and displays.

Output for each of the categories (Last 2 numbers, Last 3 numbers, Last 4 numbers, Last 5 numbers, and Sail numbers)

Using the Sailwave export to clipboard function to populate the clipboard with the selected fields.

The Radial Youth Worlds had 3 flights/fleets of boys and one fleet of girls. The Sailwave export function can be used to select just one flight/fleet.
