I am aware of the problems with using a different number for
the part file than the one (visibly) stamped on the part,
but I think it would be sufficient if a comment in the
dinghy bottom (and top) file notes that this part is
intended to be used together with part 30086 (30087 for the
top part), and then lists the current official shortcuts for
the complete dinghy (only 4106548 right now).
Then, when the black-grey Zodiac appears, we'll just create
a new shortcut file and add it to the comments in
"30086.dat" and "30087.dat".
Play well,
Jacob
