In the same vein: Gambas has been the IT tool of choice for the annual
Hebe Haven Yacht Club 24 Hour Dinghy Charity Race. It is used for lap
counting, race publishing and results calculations ever since version 1.0.9.
This years' takings were 115,000US$, over the last few years totaling
around 500,000US$.

The proceeds go to local charities such as the Children's Cancer Foundation.

Thank you, Benoit for an outstanding job.
