12699 was a number issued by US Sailing (or the USYRU) - probably quite a while ago because US Sailing numbers are up to the 60001-61259 range currently. So the owner who got the number assigned lived in the eastern 2/3 of the US, but not in the lake Huron area, nor near Chesapeake Bay.
Out of curiosity I may call US Sailing tomorrow and see if there is a way to look up the boat or owner information on a sail number. I already know the past owners if Imzadi, but it might be interesting to talk to the owner of Frenzy II of the Whitby Yacht Club in Canada (one of the boats that was in the 1978 Labatt's race along with mine; her sail number is still in the CYA registry) to see if he has any recollections about that race. Looking at the map of regional groups that issue sail numbers causes me to wonder just how many sail numbers get issued for Idaho and western Montana. Curious minds want to know.

Judging from all the gear and sails that came with Alianna I would say someone had outfitted her pretty well for racing before I got her. It was not the previous owner so it's hard to find out the history. Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS
