30 years ago I was 20.
I had a red Laser, sail number 43373.
The guys with new Lasers had numbers starting with 80000.
Now I’m 50.
I have a yellow Laser, sail number 54884.
The guys with new Lasers have numbers starting with 190000.
Therefore in twenty-five years time I’ll be 75.
I’ll have a Laser with the sail number 64476 or 64477.
Em’s new Laser will have a number starting with 281000.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
This bit of maths is inspired by Tillermans’s post ‘Sailing in the second space age’.
