A byte is commonly used as a unit of storage measurement in computers, regardless of the type of data being stored.
This usage is reflected, for example, in LDB and DPB assembly instructions for field extraction on a PDP-10, which survive as bytewise operations in Common Lisp; and in the six-bit bytes of the IBM 1401.
The move to an eight-bit byte happened in late 1956, and this size was later adopted and promulgated as a standard by the System/360.

 Yachting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These days, yacht racing and dinghy racing are common participant sports around the developed world, particularly where favourable wind conditions and access to reasonably sized bodies of water are available.
Dinghy races are conducted on sheltered water on smaller craft, usually designed for crews of between one and three people.
Dinghy designs vary from small, stable, and slow craft for novice sailors to lightweight, high-speed designs that are very difficult for even experienced crews to sail safely and effectively.

 Sailing Boats - Greek Sailing Holidays
Bytes are similar to Laser 1's although smaller, allowing pleasant safe sailing, a little more exciting than a Topper for one or two persons.
The Laser 1 Olympic class dinghy is known and raced all over the world, a single hander but will sail comfortably with two on board.
Presently, our Laser 2's are our fastest medium performance dinghy making use of the spinnaker and trapeze (a wire with which to hang out of the boat by the waist) for clients with energy to spare and wish to be a little more athletic during their holiday.

Anders Børresen first saw the new CII at ISAF’s annual meeting in November 2003 and considers it to be one of the greatest developments of single-handed dinghies.
For that reason Børresen applied for the right to sell the dinghy in Denmark while the CII rigging was still under construction.
Because of the dynamic rigging, the dinghy is attractive for sailors between 41 and 75kg.
