When day-sailing in familiar waters, I just keep a medium sized spiral-
bound notebook handy. I'll keep date/time entries starting in the front,
and general notes starting from the back.

Racing, or when sailing offshore or in unfamiliar waters I keep a small
notebook in my pocket to record data as it occurs. Down at the nav table
I keep a three-ring notebook with sections for various types of pages,
depending on the race or passage:

 -- deck log for recording course, distance, wind, weather, sail changes,
    LOPs, and fixes

 -- sight reduction forms

 -- last Local Notice to Mariners

 -- race circular, instructions, course description, mark lists

 -- boat's performance polar diagram and tables

 -- always, plenty of blank sheets to write down whatever
