The spare laptop you dig out to show the results on, and the software on it, is older than all the competitors at the event...

Open event, but predominantly a junior class. There are rarely more than the odd one or two adults racing in it these days.

Nice report! Almost feels like I was there, and have brick dust in my sailing kit.
Used to enjoy sailing the Whitefriars Topper open, but beat the kids and you "have beaten kids", or lose to them and feel like a very crap sailor. Mind, in reality, losing to some very good teens is actually no shame, they are very talented. |

Now it makes sense. Since you wrote this yesterday I thought you were talking about Bart's Bash - some laptop that would have been. |
