The Proof Is in the Plates

Earlier this month, we asked the Latitude Nation to share their sailing license plates.

Here’s one from Paul and Chrissy Kaplan. “[This was the] very first generation of vanity plates,” Chrissy wrote. “We think this is the 10th vehicle, at least, that has worn this plate. Never giving it up!”

“I’d like to remain anonymous,” said this next entry. ‘I was swiftly punished for having a vanity plate by a certain sailmaker who said it doesn’t say Singlehand but Snugglehound!

“The Arizona license plate is on my truck,” wrote David Allocco of the Capri 22 Summer Nights in Phoenix.

“Someone in Kansas had the same idea,” David added.

Jeff Chamberlain wrote: “Well, it’s not so much a ‘plate’, as a license plate holder, but I thought I’d send it along anyway.”

And finally, we saw the rear end of the plate that got this whole thread started.

Thanks for playing license to sail, everyone. Don’t worry — like baseball (or cricket), the game never really ends. If you have or have seen a sailing plate, please let us know by emailing us here.
