Excellent mangling of imperial and metric.

Although I admit I do have trouble fathoming the chain of litigation...


And a lovely mix of sea and land! A chain must be 3 2/3 fathoms, if memory serves me right?

Having had years of fun sailing Bruce Kirby's great little boat both racing and as a beach boat I'm pleased that he's had his day in court, and if I've read it correctly has been awarded over $6m in damages. Which feels fairly emphatic.

However, I share JimC's view that I doubt if Bruce will ever see a penny of this as I'm sure that Mr  Rastergar will have played corporate hide the assets and that the respondent companies, LPE and QMI, have been pillaged. I'm not close enough to the Laser scene to have a view on how this will effect the class, but I hope it's a positive one.

And of course because its Laser related, you will have to buy the special Laser chain if you wish to measure a furlong properly

I believe the Laser chain is connected to a plug hole.
