You are at an autumn open meeting, you write the course down on the back of your hand.  You put on your gloves and can no longer see the course!

You are taking part in your club’s biggest trophy race of the season; you wrap masking tape round your leg and write the course onto it.  On the way to the start, you capsize and the masking tape falls off into the water!

You are lying in second place in your Sunday afternoon club race.  You read the course on shore but didn't write it down as you are certain you wouldn't forget. After rounding the windward mark you chase the lead boat down the next leg, when you hear shouting.  You have both sailed the wrong course, and lost several positions!

You are leading the fleet, and have written your wind shift data on the deck.  You notice the compass heading has changed, you glance down at your data and struggle to read it as you hike like never before.  You have to de-power to read it and realise that you should have tacked on that header 20 seconds ago!
