More great race reports

So what's changed in 30 years then?  I only ever bought Y&Y to read the clubs and classes bits of the classes I was interested in.  And to dream big drooling over the classified ads. I thought everyone read Y&Y back to front?  Thesedays I only click on the reports for classes I'm interested in, or feel peer-pressured into reading through backdoor links off this forum.... your Byte report being a prime example

This week I have friends sailing in the Firefly Nationals, as well as other friends competing in the Javelin Europeans. Every day reports are posted on here of the Fireflies and very good they are, but they are tack by tack accounts of the top few boats and there are no daily overall results. My friends are obviously placed somewhere between 6 and 40! Unless they spent the week in the pub of course, I have no idea.

For reference, 731 people have read the report so far. Your writing is not in vain!
